Frequently Asked Questions
The split coil provides a thicker, warmer tone, while the single coil offers a brighter, more articulate sound, allowing for a wide range of sonic textures.
The neck profile is described as comfortable and modern, but it's not explicitly a 'fat' neck; players with larger hands will likely find it manageable but might prefer a slightly thicker feel.
The miter joint allows for more efficient transfer of vibrations, resulting in a more resonant and lively tone, and contributing to a slightly more responsive feel.
