Frequently Asked Questions
The amaranth fretboard has a factory finish that’s generally smooth, but some players prefer to polish it further for an even slicker feel.
The Jackson pickups are designed for high output, so they retain clarity even with distortion; however, very extreme gain settings can introduce some mud, like with any pickup.
The 2-point tremolo is relatively low-maintenance, but occasional cleaning and lubrication of the pivot point will help keep it functioning smoothly.
