Frequently Asked Questions
The Dyna-MIX9 allows for coil-splitting and other configurations, offering a wider range of tones from glassy cleans to thicker, more distorted sounds – a significant upgrade over a standard setup.
The AZES neck profile is designed to be comfortable for a wide range of players; at 23mm at the 12th fret, it's a relatively slim profile that should be manageable even for those with larger hands.
It's a functional tremolo, but a basic one. Expect to potentially need to adjust the spring claw and lubrication more often than with a higher-end tremolo system.
