Frequently Asked Questions

The GRG neck profile is generally thinner and flatter than Ibanez’s Wizard profiles, making it a bit easier to navigate, especially for players with smaller hands.
While not high-output pickups, the humbuckers can handle a good amount of distortion and provide a decent metal tone, though it might lack the extreme aggression of more powerful pickups.
The T102 tremolo is simple, but it’s not a locking tremolo, so expect to do some tuning after use, especially with more aggressive dives.
