Frequently Asked Questions
It’s closer than previous Player models; the Alnico 5 pickups have more character, but lacks the genuine aged complexity of a true vintage instrument.
While a set-neck *can* theoretically offer more sustain, the Player II’s construction and Alder body compensate well, and it's a very playable design.
The 2-point tremolo is surprisingly stable, but aggressive tremolo use will still require occasional tuning adjustments – it’s not a Floyd Rose.
