Frequently Asked Questions
Chambering reduces weight and adds a touch of airiness to the tone, potentially sacrificing a small amount of low-end sustain but improving resonance.
The Super Wizard is quite thin, so players with larger hands or a preference for thicker necks might find it less comfortable, though many find it exceptionally fast.
The Lo-Pro Edge prioritizes tuning stability under heavy tremolo use, offering a more subtle range of motion compared to a full-travel Floyd Rose.
