Frequently Asked Questions
The Edge is generally more stable and easier to tune after use than a traditional Floyd Rose, offering a more user-friendly tremolo experience.
The thin profile can be a bit cramped for those with very large hands, but many find it comfortable and facilitates fast playing once accustomed.
The V8 bridge pickup is designed for high-gain tones and handles lower tunings exceptionally well without excessive muddiness.
