Frequently Asked Questions
The Diamond Deluxe is a vintage-style tremolo, far more subtle and less extreme than a Floyd Rose; it's designed for nuanced pitch bending, not dive bombs.
They aim for that classic PAF character – thick, warm, and responsive – but with a slightly more modern edge and clarity. Don't expect a direct clone, but it’s in that ballpark.
The neck profile is a comfortable 'C' shape; while the nut width is 42 mm, it’s generally accommodating for players with a variety of hand sizes, though those with very large hands might find it slightly snug.
