Frequently Asked Questions
The Edge is a more modern, refined tremolo – it's generally easier to set up and maintain, and offers a more subtle vibrato than a full-on Floyd Rose.
It’s certainly on the thinner side, prioritizing speed and access to higher frets, so players used to a more substantial feel may need to adjust.
They handle high gain exceptionally well, delivering aggressive crunch and searing leads with plenty of clarity – expect a modern, powerful sound.
