Hey, just looking at upgrading the pickups to either Seymore Duncans or bare knuckles, was wondering what the current pickups are, e.g. alnico 2, alnico 5? is there anything I need to consider when switching the pickups? Will make sure they are splittable

thanks.

Hi, either pickup will work fine for you. Current pickups are ceramic. It's up to you what you want to put in there, just make sure the new pickup you put in is 4 conductor wiring so you can split them.

Can anyone tell me or send a close up picture if the frets are really extra jumbo they don't look any different to other guitars in the pics provided.

Thank you

Hi, please contact our customer service team directly and they can assist you. Our standard XJ size may vary slightly from what you may find on another brand. Our frets size measure 1.4mm X 2.7mm, this is our XJ standard size. It would be best to use measurements rather than a picture.

Frets on mine are 2.3 mm tall by 3.4 mm thick.  For comparison, my Ibanez RG is 2.8 mm tall by 3.5 mm thick.  Measured at the 12th fret.

Mine has the disappointing CHINA on it.   Makes it hard to love her.

I have an EC 256 FM and I don’t know which direction the switch needs to be for rhythm or lead guitar, I also don’t know which knob controls the neck or bridge pickup either. Can someone help me out?
