Frequently Asked Questions
It's designed to capture that vintage high-output vibe, but with a slightly more refined and modern clarity – less brittle than some of the hotter pickups from that era.
The maple neck has a comfortable, slightly rounded 'C' shape. It's not a super thin neck, so it should feel good even for those with bigger hands.
The 1000 series is a decent entry-level Floyd Rose, but you'll likely need to do a basic setup and potentially upgrade the springs for optimal tuning stability under heavy use.
