Frequently Asked Questions
The Edge-Zero II is a locking tremolo but offers a more refined, less extreme feel than a full-blown Floyd Rose; it's easier to adjust and re-string.
Jatoba is a dense wood, so it’s generally durable, but it *can* show wear more visibly than rosewood, especially with heavy use and aggressive playing.
The Quantum pickups are designed for high output and clarity, so they hold up well in lower tunings, though you might need to tweak your EQ to avoid muddiness.
