Frequently Asked Questions
The 1000SE is a reliable, double-locking tremolo, offering good tuning stability even with aggressive use, though occasional adjustments may still be needed.
The thin 'U' profile is designed for speed and comfort, but some players with larger hands might find it a bit too slim; it's best to try it if possible.
The satin finish is prone to showing fingerprints and minor scratches more easily than gloss finishes, requiring regular cleaning to maintain its appearance.
