Frequently Asked Questions
The Edge-Zero is a more refined, lower-profile tremolo; it's generally easier to set up and tune, though it offers slightly less extreme dive than a full Floyd Rose.
Jatoba is a dense wood, but it can be susceptible to wear if not properly oiled and maintained like any other wood fingerboard; regular care will keep it playing smoothly.
The Quantum series offers a more articulate and slightly hotter output than the older Ibanez pickups; they have a modern, balanced tone suitable for a wide range of genres.
