Frequently Asked Questions
The 'thin U' is noticeably slimmer than some of LTD's other neck profiles, offering a faster feel, but it's not as thin as their extreme-thin profiles.
Like most active pickups, they can exhibit some noise at extremely high gain settings, but the EMG 81/89 combo is well-shielded and generally quite quiet.
The Floyd Rose 1000 is a capable tremolo, but requires a bit of practice and understanding of its mechanics to properly adjust and setup; it’s not as beginner-friendly as a hardtail bridge.
