Tonal profile

Kenny Hickey's (Type O Negative) signature baritone: all-mahogany with a set neck and a 26.5" scale, factory-tuned B-E-A-D-F#-B, so it sits a fourth below standard and stays tight where a normal scale would flop. A Seymour Duncan JB SH-4B gives the bridge its hot, midrange-forward bite over the mahogany's thick low end, while the neck Sustainiac drives infinite feedback and harmonic swells - the sustained doom leads that define the Type O sound. Kill switch for stutter effects.
