Frequently Asked Questions
It blends the humbucker and single coils in unique ways, creating more complex and often warmer tones than a typical Strat's three-way switch. The Alter switch provides even more tonal variation.
The AZES profile is designed to be comfortable for a wide range of hand sizes; the 23mm thickness at the 12th fret offers a good balance between speed and control, but players with very large hands might prefer something a bit thicker.
The T106 is a basic tremolo; it's functional for subtle vibrato but won't hold tuning perfectly with extreme dive bombs. More aggressive tremolo use will likely require adjustments and potentially an upgraded tremolo unit.
