Frequently Asked Questions

Fluence pickups offer a more compressed and defined tone with a wider dynamic range, resulting in less noise and a more consistent output, even with heavy gain.
While capable, the Floyd Rose requires some learning to properly set up and maintain; it's best approached with patience or professional assistance initially.
Basswood provides a warmer, more mid-focused distortion tone than woods like mahogany, which can be desirable for a more modern, aggressive sound, though some might find it slightly less articulate.
