Frequently Asked Questions
It’s a blend system, allowing you to combine the humbucker and single-coil signals for a wider range of tones, though the humbuckers dominate the overall character.
The Parallel Wizard-7 is quite thin, so while it's fast, players with very large hands might find it a bit cramped, especially higher up the neck.
It offers excellent tuning stability without the complexity of a full-blown tremolo system; it's a good compromise for players who want reliability without dive bombs.
