Frequently Asked Questions
The Floyd Rose 1000 series can be a little more finicky than traditional trem systems, requiring careful setup and potentially locking screws for optimal tuning stability.
It's a genuine serial/parallel switch, allowing for a significant tonal change – you'll get a thicker, more scooped sound in parallel.
The 'thin profile' is noticeably slimmer than many Kramer necks, feeling similar to some vintage Fender designs, which may be a plus or minus depending on your preference.
