Frequently Asked Questions
The Fortunas offer a more refined, less overwound tone than some classic Duncan designs; they're articulate and dynamic, leaning towards a more modern sound.
The Gotoh tremolo is very responsive and user-friendly, and the locking tuners contribute significantly to excellent tuning stability even with moderate tremolo use.
The compound radius starts flatter for easier bending and transitions to a rounder profile for comfortable chording, offering a blend of playability and classic feel.
