Frequently Asked Questions
The Domino has a tighter, more focused character than many vintage single coils; it’s articulate and clear, retaining a warmth without being muddy.
The Diamond Deluxe is surprisingly stable for a vintage-style tremolo, but aggressive use will require retuning – it’s designed for subtle vibrato, not dive bombs.
The center block reduces unwanted feedback and adds sustain, but it does tame some of the open resonance you'd expect from a full semi-hollow – a trade-off for increased versatility.
