Frequently Asked Questions

The Wilkinson tremolo is a vintage-style trem, offering a more subtle vibrato than a Floyd Rose. It's reliable and stays in tune well, but isn’t designed for extreme dive bombs.
The 'C' shaped neck profile is generally comfortable, but it's on the slimmer side. Players with very large hands might find it a touch cramped, though the 42mm nut width helps.
While versatile, the Roswell HAF pickups lean more towards classic rock and blues. They can handle moderate metal, but higher-gain, aggressive styles might require an upgrade for optimal clarity.
