Frequently Asked Questions
The Ultra Modern weight relief preserves a good amount of resonance, but slightly reduces the low-end thump you'd get from a full-weight model – it’s a trade-off for increased comfort.
Absolutely. They provide rock-solid tuning stability, essential for modern playing styles and drop tunings, and make string changes much easier.
These controls drastically expand the sonic possibilities, allowing you to access single-coil sounds for cleaner tones and altered pickup configurations for a wider range of genres.
