Frequently Asked Questions

The finish is a lacquer, so it's durable, but be mindful of abrasive polishes – a soft cloth and mild cleaner are best to preserve the crackle effect.
It's a double-locking system, which simplifies setup compared to vintage tremolos, but understanding tremolo mechanics and string changes will still be beneficial.
The Okoume body adds a slightly warmer, more articulate character than the ash bodies often found on Jackson guitars – it's still aggressive, but with more nuance.
