Frequently Asked Questions
The neck is a comfortable, medium-thin profile, similar to many vintage-style guitars, but with a modern feel thanks to the carbon reinforcement.
They're AlNiCo 5 pickups – definitely not high-output shredders. They provide a balanced, articulate tone suitable for classic rock and blues, with a nice upper-midrange presence.
It’s a focus control, narrowing the frequency range – useful for dialing in specific characteristics, but it does restrict more complex tone stacking options you’d find with multiple knobs.
