Frequently Asked Questions
Blackouts generally offer a tighter, more articulate response than EMGs, with a slightly more aggressive high-end and less compression.
Satin finishes can show wear quicker than gloss finishes, especially with heavy playing and sweat, but it's part of the feel many players prefer.
While it's a 'Special' version, Floyd Rose tremolos can be a bit finicky to set up initially; some basic knowledge or a setup from a tech is recommended for optimal performance.
