Fitted with Nordstrand Big Single pickups, the BTB946 delivers a punchy, aggressive tone with the clarity and definition expected from single-coil pickups. These soapbar-style pickups produce a meaty, full-bodied sound that works perfectly for a variety of genres. From deep, growling lows to clear, articulate highs, this setup provides the power and versatility needed to stand out in any mix.

Featuring a 3-way mid-frequency switch, this system allows for precise tone shaping, from booming lows to focused mids and sparkling highs. The EQ bypass option further enhances flexibility, enabling a passive mode where the treble pot acts as a master tone control. This setup ensures the BTB946 can adapt to any musical situation with ease.
MR5S bridge for adjustable string spacing
The MR5S bridge on the BTB946 offers adjustable saddles, so that you can fine-tune string spacing to suit your preferences. With a range of +/- 1.5mm, this feature ensures an incredibly comfortable and personalised playing experience. You can achieve tighter spacing for fast, technical playing or wider spacing for more dynamic fingerstyle work thanks to the MR5S bridge, providing the flexibility to cater to unique and diverse playstyles.
