Frequently Asked Questions
It's fuller and thicker, offering a more powerful, rock-oriented tone while still retaining some clarity and definition – a noticeable departure from a standard single-coil Strat.
The 2-point synchronized tremolo is decent, but it's not a high-end locking trem. It will stay in tune reasonably well with moderate use, but extreme dives might require adjustments.
The maple fretboard contributes to a brighter, snappier tone compared to a rosewood board, emphasizing upper harmonics and providing a clear, articulate sound.
