Frequently Asked Questions
S-TECH stabilizes the wood, reducing warping and increasing resonance, resulting in a more lively and sustained tone compared to standard wood.
The Gotoh tremolo is generally reliable, but locking tremolos require more precise setup initially to maintain tuning stability under heavy use.
The Alter Switch essentially splits the humbucker into a single coil, offering more tonal options and a brighter, more Strat-like sound.
