Frequently Asked Questions
The Grand Vintage has a bit more clarity and articulation than a traditional PAF, while still retaining that thick, warm character. It's a modern take on a classic sound.
The Radiator tremolo is known for its smooth action and stability; it’s relatively easy to set up and doesn’t suffer from excessive ‘flutter’ like some vintage tremolos.
The rosewood offers a slightly softer, warmer feel under the fingers compared to maple. It contributes a touch of warmth to the overall tone, rounding off the high-end slightly.
