Frequently Asked Questions
Roasted maple is kiln-dried at higher temperatures, making it more stable, less prone to warping, and generally offering a smoother feel – it’s a noticeable upgrade.
They're designed to emulate classic tones, leaning towards a slightly hotter output than vintage pickups, with a clear and articulate character – a good alternative to Dimarzio or Seymour Duncan.
The Wilkinson tremolo is generally well-regarded for its reliability; however, a professional setup is recommended to ensure smooth operation and prevent tuning instability.
