Frequently Asked Questions
The 20mm/22mm thickness at the 1st and 12th frets suggests a comfortable, slightly rounded ‘C’ shape, a bit thinner than some vintage Charvel necks but still substantial.
Absolutely. The standard DiMarzio pickups are a popular choice, but they are easily replaceable with other aftermarket pickups via the standard wiring harness.
It's a Floyd Rose, so it requires a bit more finesse than a vintage-style trem. Regular maintenance and occasional professional setup are recommended to keep it performing optimally.
