Frequently Asked Questions
The 1000SE is a very capable tremolo system, but lacks some of the finer refinements and smoother action of a truly high-end unit, though it holds tuning remarkably well.
While comfortable for many, the thin profile might feel a little cramped for those with very large hands, though it's still manageable.
The EMG 81/60 pairing provides a great balance; the 81 brings aggression, while the 60 adds warmth and clarity, allowing for a wider range of tones than a single high-output pickup.
