Frequently Asked Questions
The Bone Breaker is higher output and more aggressive, with a tighter low-end and a slightly more scooped midrange compared to the 82, leaning more towards a modern metal tone.
The thin 'U' profile is generally comfortable, but those with very large hands might prefer a slightly thicker neck; it's best to try it in person if possible.
The Floyd Rose 1000 is a premium tremolo known for its stability, but it still requires proper setup and occasional tuning adjustments, especially with heavy tremolo use.
