Frequently Asked Questions
In active mode, the pickups are boosted for more output and a tighter sound; passive mode offers a more vintage, rounded tone with less gain.
The neck has a comfortable 'C' shape with a 38mm nut width, which should be accommodating for most hand sizes, though it's not exceptionally wide.
These Alnico humbuckers have a slightly smoother, more refined character than many hotter pickups, offering a blend of clarity and punch – think a less aggressive version of a Music Man pickup.
