Frequently Asked Questions
The 1000SE offers significantly improved tuning stability thanks to its dual-locking mechanism, allowing for more extreme tremolo use without constant retuning.
The GL Original U profile is a full 'C' shape, so while comfortable for many, players with smaller hands might find it slightly thicker than their preference.
The Distortion in the bridge provides high-output crunch, while the SS-120 in the neck offers a warmer, smoother tone; however, the humbucker configuration leans towards heavier genres.
