Frequently Asked Questions
The Floyd Rose licensed tremolo is functional, but retuning may be necessary after heavy use; it’s common for systems in this price range.
The neck has a fairly standard 'C' shape, but the bolt-on construction might feel less contoured than a set-neck, potentially a little less comfortable for very large hands.
While designed for high-gain tones, the pickup blend can be dialed back for cleaner sounds, but versatility is somewhat limited compared to coil-splitting pickups.
