Frequently Asked Questions
The Blackout pickups are significantly hotter and more compressed, resulting in a tighter, more aggressive tone – less vintage warmth, more modern attack.
The neck is a fairly standard slim profile, but the 47.6mm nut width might feel wider than some prefer, especially for smaller hands – try it out if possible.
The 1500 series is a solid, reliable tremolo, but frequent, extreme dives will require more frequent tuning adjustments than a hardtail bridge.
