Frequently Asked Questions
Roasted maple is more stable than standard maple, resisting warping and offering a snappier, more articulate tone with a bit more clarity.
Yes, the Tesla pickups use a standard Humbucker size and spacing, making them relatively straightforward to swap out for other brands.
While not overly complex, the Floyd Rose tremolo does require some understanding of its mechanics for proper setup and string changes; watching tutorials is recommended.
