Frequently Asked Questions
It likely activates coil-splitting for a wider range of tonal options, offering a single-coil-like sound alongside the full humbucker output.
The Extra Thin U profile is designed for speed and comfort, but players with larger hands might find it a bit too thin for extended playing sessions.
It's a solid, reliable tremolo system, but lacks some of the finer adjustments and refinements found on more expensive, top-tier Floyd Rose units.
