Frequently Asked Questions

The compound radius starts shallow for easy chording and flattens out for comfortable lead playing – a real win for versatility.
While designed for higher gain, the pickups have decent clarity; they’re usable for lighter rock tones with careful amp settings, but distortion is their sweet spot.
It's a basic, functional tremolo, but requires regular setup and careful use to avoid tuning issues. It’s not a high-end Floyd Rose.
