- • Bolt-on neck construction slightly diminishes sustain compared to set-neck designs.

Frequently Asked Questions
The Floyd Rose licensed tremolo is functional, but requires careful setup and may need occasional tuning adjustments under heavy use, typical for guitars in this price range.
The neck profile is a fairly standard 'C' shape, so it should be comfortable for most hand sizes, though those preferring a thinner profile might find it slightly thicker.
These pickups offer a respectable level of output and distortion, but lack the nuanced tonal complexity and clarity found in Jackson’s higher-end pickups – a common trade-off for affordability.
