Frequently Asked Questions

The 17mm/19mm depth at the 1st/12th fret offers a slightly more substantial feel than some thinner RG profiles, providing more grip for powerful playing.
It’s generally considered user-friendly, but like any tremolo, it will benefit from occasional adjustments to ensure optimal tuning stability, especially with aggressive use.
The finish is a high-gloss, durable lacquer, but like any glossy finish, it's susceptible to scratches and swirl marks – a quality polish will keep it looking pristine.
