Frequently Asked Questions
It's a solid, reliable trem, but lacks the more refined feel and tuning stability of their top-tier models. Still, it’s a significant step up from basic tremolos.
It’s not inherently slippery, but it's denser than rosewood. Some players prefer to apply a fretboard conditioner after a few playing sessions to achieve a preferred feel.
The Quantum 7@+ are hotter and more aggressive, with a tighter low-end, whereas the Air Norton 7 offers a more vintage-inspired, smoother tone.
