Frequently Asked Questions
The Wilkinson tremolo is surprisingly functional, but it's not a Floyd Rose – expect a bit more tuning instability with aggressive use.
The neck binding improves the feel and provides a smoother playing experience, especially for fast runs and bends, making it a worthwhile addition.
The coil split produces a usable, slightly jangly single-coil tone, though it's a bit noisier than higher-end single-coil pickups.
