Frequently Asked Questions
The 'Extra Thin U' is noticeably thinner than many LTD models, offering a faster feel that's more akin to Kirk's preferred neck shapes.
The active pickups have a higher output and different tonal character, requiring some tweaking of amp settings to get used to, but the volume and tone controls offer decent shaping.
The Floyd Rose 1000 is a double-locking tremolo, which makes it relatively stable, but requires a bit more care and knowledge for setup and string changes compared to a traditional tremolo.
