Frequently Asked Questions

The Jackson pickups are generally hotter and more aggressive than typical Strat pickups, offering a more modern rock tone while retaining some of the clarity.
The Floyd Rose Special can be a bit finicky to set up initially, but once dialed in, it provides reliable tremolo functionality – a bit more maintenance than a vintage-style trem.
The build quality is surprisingly good for the price point; the neck is straight, the fretwork is decent, and the hardware is functional, although the finish isn’t as refined as higher-end models.
