Frequently Asked Questions
Roasted maple is significantly more stable than standard maple, resisting warping and humidity changes, resulting in a consistently comfortable feel and reliable intonation.
Absolutely; the Plasma-X1 pickups are Alnico V humbuckers designed for high output, providing plenty of gain and clarity for aggressive playing styles.
While powerful, Floyd Rose tremolos can be tricky to set up initially. Expect a learning curve and potentially needing to consult a professional for optimal performance.
