Frequently asked questions
What's the main difference between these two guitars?
The 1813 has passive Fishman Fluence pickups with coil-split push-pull controls for manual tonal shaping. The 2323 has active Fishman Fluence humbuckers that require a battery but eliminate hum and provide consistent output without user adjustment.
Which one is better for tight, modern metal tones?
The 2323's active electronics are optimized for articulate high-gain and tight low-end response, making it the cleaner choice for heavy, contemporary metal. The 1813 is more versatile across genres but requires more hands-on control to achieve the same punch.
Do I need to replace batteries in the 2323?
Yes, active electronics require periodic battery replacement — typically 6-12 months depending on usage. The 1813 eliminates this maintenance entirely since its pickups are passive.
Can the 1813 match the output consistency of the 2323?
The 1813 offers more tonal flexibility through coil-split controls and dual-voicing pickups, but active electronics in the 2323 guarantee rock-solid output levels and hum rejection that passive systems cannot match.
