- • Floyd Rose 1000 series tremolo allows for extreme dive bombs and tuning stability.
CONS
- • Relic finish might not appeal to players seeking a pristine, modern aesthetic.
- • Single dummy coil limits tonal versatility compared to a true single-coil option.
- • Bolt-on neck construction, while stable, lacks the warmth of a set neck.

Frequently Asked Questions
The relicing is purely cosmetic; it doesn't meaningfully alter the guitar's sonic character, though some believe it can slightly loosen the wood over time.
The D-Tuna is straightforward to engage, and when properly set up, it maintains tuning stability while allowing for quick drop tunings.
It's a visual representation of a single coil; it doesn't produce a signal, just provides the aesthetic of a Strat-style pickup configuration.
