Frequently Asked Questions
The Edge-Zero is a very capable trem, offering good stability for its class; it's not as refined as the Edge Pro or Floyd Rose, but it's a solid performer for the price.
It's factory finished with a thin coating, which provides some protection but can feel a bit less 'open' compared to an unfinished board – some players prefer to refinish it.
The Quantum set offers a more modern, higher-output sound with a slightly tighter low-end than the older Dynamix, and a more aggressive tone than the PowerPass pickups.
