Frequently Asked Questions
It’s a comfortable, slightly flatter profile than some of Jackson’s more vintage-inspired necks, designed for faster playing and easier access to the higher frets.
The Floyd Rose Special is functional, but may require more frequent tuning adjustments when subjected to extreme down-tuning or aggressive tremolo use compared to a higher-end unit.
Nyatoh provides a bright, punchy tone with good sustain, but lacks some of the warmth and complexity found in mahogany; the flamed maple top helps add some character.
