Frequently Asked Questions
The Speed Neck is noticeably thinner and flatter, offering faster access to higher frets but a different feel than a vintage Fender neck.
They're a modern interpretation of a Strat single coil, with a slightly hotter output and clearer articulation compared to vintage-style pickups.
The Floyd Rose 1000 requires a bit more learning curve for setup and maintenance compared to a vintage-style trem, but it's very reliable when properly adjusted.
