Frequently Asked Questions
The Floyd Rose provides excellent tuning stability when properly set up, but requires a bit of a learning curve for initial adjustments – it’s a true floating tremolo.
Maple is susceptible, but the finish is relatively thick and well-applied; proper care and a case will minimize the risk, but be mindful of extreme climate shifts.
The mahogany body gives it a warmer, more rounded tone compared to alder-bodied ESPs; the Duncan pickups provide a tighter, more aggressive response than some of the stock ESP pickups.
