Frequently Asked Questions

The system allows for coil-splitting and various pickup combinations, offering a wide range of sounds, but it requires some experimentation to master. The Alter Switch adds another layer of complexity.

Yes, the shorter scale provides a slinkier feel and easier bending, but it will alter the string tension and overall tone; it’s a noticeable change but generally quite accessible.

The String Lock significantly improves tuning stability, especially with tremolo use, by clamping the strings closer to the nut, reducing slippage and tuning drift.
