Frequently Asked Questions

The MEC J/J offers a more articulate and defined sound than a traditional split-coil, with a tighter low-end and improved clarity – less muddiness, more punch.
The Ekanga adds a subtle brightness and stiffness to the neck, contributing to a responsive feel and a slightly more focused tone, but the maple core is the dominant factor.
