Frequently Asked Questions
The Edge-Zero is a more refined, lightweight tremolo system, generally offering smoother action and improved tuning stability compared to some older Floyd Rose designs.
Maple fingerboards, especially with a high-gloss finish like this one, can be prone to slight finish checking over time with temperature and humidity changes – it’s purely cosmetic and doesn’t affect playability.
The Quantum pickups handle high-gain amps exceptionally well, retaining clarity and articulation while delivering a thick, powerful sound; they won't get muddy or overly compressed.
