Frequently Asked Questions
The Reflectone pickups offer a more modern clarity and articulation than traditional Fender pickups; they have a slightly tighter low end and more defined highs.
Yes, it's a welcome improvement for many players – it makes bending easier in the higher registers while maintaining comfortable chording lower down.
Bolt-on necks generally offer a brighter, more direct tone with slightly less sustain than set-neck constructions, but the SPB RF’s maple neck and alder body compensate well.
