FAQ's
What makes the Tonewolf CUB special?
The CUB takes its inspiration from classic guitars like the Les Paul Jr, keeping things simple with a single pickup and a stripped-back design. The idea is to keep the focus on the player and the feel of the instrument rather than lots of extra features. With a Sunbear ’56 P90 and traditional 50s-style wiring, it delivers clear, vintage-style tone that really responds to how you play.
What kind of pickup does the CUB have?
The CUB uses a Sunbear P90 pickup. It has an expressive, vintage-inspired voice and responds well to your touch, so it can go from clean and open to gritty and driven depending on your playing dynamics.
Is the CUB suitable for beginners or more experienced players?
It works well for both. The simple layout makes it easy for beginners to get comfortable with, while more experienced players tend to appreciate the character, responsiveness, and feel.
What woods are used in the CUB?
The CUB is built with an African Mahogany body and a Brazilian Mahogany neck. There’s also the option of Korina if you’re after something with a slightly more focused mid-range character.
Can a single-pickup guitar like the CUB still be versatile?
Absolutely. Even with just one pickup, the CUB can cover a lot of ground. The combination of the P90 and the vintage-style wiring gives you plenty of range, from clear, articulate cleans through to punchy, overdriven tones.
