Frequently Asked Questions
Laurel generally offers a brighter, snappier tone compared to rosewood, and feels a bit harder under the fingers, providing a more precise feel.
The Floyd Rose Special requires a bit of a learning curve to set up initially, but once properly adjusted, it's fairly stable and retunes reasonably well.
Jackson's neck profiles often lean towards a more modern 'D' or 'thin C' shape, offering a faster feel for technical playing, which some may find a departure from a traditional C profile.
