Frequently Asked Questions
The tremolo system will subtly reduce sustain compared to a fixed bridge, but the overall resonance of the maple body largely compensates for this.
Filter'Trons have a characteristic hum, but they're surprisingly well-behaved for humbuckers, and handle moderate to high gain situations effectively.
The 'U' shape is a fairly standard vintage-inspired profile – comfortable but not as slim as some modern necks; it’s a good middle ground for most players.
