Frequently Asked Questions

The 'U' shape is more rounded than the slim 'C' profiles common today, offering a more substantial feel and vintage character.
While it’s a floating trem, the MIJ build quality helps keep it relatively stable, but you’ll still need to be mindful of tuning when using it extensively.
Basswood provides a more balanced and slightly warmer tone with less pronounced high-end 'snap' compared to the brighter tones of ash or alder.
