Frequently Asked Questions
The R2 1000 series is generally stable, but aggressive tremolo use will require occasional tuning adjustments, especially with lighter strings.
The Kramer Thin Profile is designed for speed, but some players with very large hands might find it slightly narrow; it's best to try it if possible.
Switching to parallel mode mellows the high-end and lowers the output, providing a smoother, less aggressive tone, expanding versatility.
