Frequently Asked Questions
The Speed Neck is noticeably thinner and flatter than many Jackson necks, prioritizing speed and ease of access for fast playing, but might feel less substantial for some.
It’s a capable tremolo, but adjusting it requires some understanding of tremolo mechanics; a professional setup is recommended initially.
The alder body tames the high-end of the pickups a bit, offering a more balanced and less harsh tone compared to guitars with ash or mahogany bodies and the same pickups.
