Frequently Asked Questions
The 12.01 in radius is noticeably flatter than a Fender’s 7.25 in, resulting in a faster feel but potentially less vintage character.
While the Infinity RS pickups are generally well-regarded, they are single-coil and humbucker designs, so some inherent noise is present, especially with high-gain amplification.
The T106 tremolo is a basic design and won't offer the stability or range of more premium systems; it's best suited for subtle adjustments.
