Frequently Asked Questions
The split coil provides a thicker, more powerful tone, while the single coil offers a brighter, more articulate sound, allowing for a wide range of sonic textures.
The 40mm nut width is fairly standard and should be comfortable for most hand sizes, but players with exceptionally large hands might find it a little snug.
The build quality is solid for the price point; it’s well-assembled but uses more cost-effective components compared to premium-priced instruments.
