Frequently Asked Questions
The K-Speed is significantly slimmer and faster than the older Fatman profile, offering a more modern feel for quicker playing.
The Floyd Rose 1000 series is a reliable tremolo, but it requires some learning to set up and maintain – be prepared to watch some tutorials or consult a tech.
Mahogany can be more susceptible to feedback than some other woods, but the pickup selection and overall build quality should mitigate this issue reasonably well.
