Frequently Asked Questions
The split coil provides a thicker, more powerful tone, while the single coil adds clarity and a more vintage vibe – you can blend them for a unique sound.
The neck has a comfortable 'C' shape, but it's not particularly wide, so players with very large hands might find it a little snug.
The long scale (864 mm) provides tighter low-end response and a slightly more fundamental tone compared to a short scale, which can be preferable for certain genres.
