Frequently Asked Questions

It's a bit more articulate and less muddy than some, thanks to the MEC pickups – expect a punchy, defined low-end without sacrificing warmth.
The neck is a comfortable 'C' shape, fairly standard, but the 45mm nut width might feel a touch wider than some modern designs – a good fit for most, but worth trying if possible.
The active EQ provides a straightforward boost/cut for treble and bass, but it's not a full-featured EQ – it’s great for subtle adjustments, but not radical tone shaping.
