Frequently Asked Questions
It's voiced for clarity and articulation, leaning towards a more vintage, slightly scooped sound than many modern high-output pickups; it’s designed to be very responsive to playing dynamics.
It’s a standard tremolo system, not a floating tremolo, and while it functions well, it’s essential to have it professionally set up to prevent tuning issues when used extensively.
The compound radius (9.5in to 14in) makes it easier to play fast runs and bends near the higher frets while maintaining comfortable chording at the lower positions.
