Frequently Asked Questions

It provides a smoother, faster feel than a standard maple board, and subtly adds warmth and complexity to the tone while retaining clarity.
It's a standard Floyd Rose, so it requires a bit of a learning curve to set up and tune, but it's reliable and offers excellent tremolo capabilities once properly adjusted.
It offers a step up in terms of pickup quality (Seymour Duncan), fretwork, and overall build quality compared to many competitors; the direct-mount pickups and caramelized fingerboard are unique features.
