Frequently Asked Questions
The Haymaker is hotter and delivers a more aggressive tone with increased sustain, making it better suited for rock and higher-gain applications than a classic single-coil.
Yes, the 10”-14” compound radius is flatter than a vintage 7.25” radius, facilitating faster playing and bending without fret buzz, but it's a departure from a classic feel.
The American Ultra tremolo is much more stable and stays in tune better due to the locking tuners and stainless steel block, offering improved reliability for aggressive tremolo use.
