Frequently Asked Questions

The MEC J/J is a well-regarded pickup, but lacks the nuanced detail and wider dynamic range of their custom-wound options – still plenty powerful and versatile though.
The ekanga is primarily aesthetic; its tonal contribution is minimal compared to the maple neck’s impact on the instrument’s overall resonance and feel.
The Just-A-Nut III is designed to minimize friction and improve tuning stability, contributing to a slightly more resonant and consistent tone compared to a standard nut.
