help Lakland 55-02 FAQ
What makes the Lakland 55-02 different from the 55-01?
The 55-02 adds the pickup layout associated with Lakland's higher-end 55-94, combining a neck split-coil with a bridge humbucker. The 55-01 traditionally uses two soapbar-style pickups, so the instruments respond differently despite sharing a 35-inch scale.
Is the Lakland 55-02 made in the United States?
The 55-02 belongs to Lakland's Skyline series, which is produced overseas and completed under Lakland's quality-control process in Chicago. The US-made counterpart is the considerably more expensive 55-94.
Does the Lakland 55-02 work if its active-preamp battery dies?
Many 55-02 versions provide active and passive operation through the volume control or a dedicated switching arrangement. Exact controls have varied by production period, so verify the specific instrument rather than assuming every used 55-02 is wired identically.
Why does the 55-02 use a 35-inch scale?
The 35-inch scale gives the low B string more tension and definition than a conventional 34-inch design. That is one reason the five-string 55-02 is popular with players who need a focused low register for stage or studio work.
