Frequently Asked Questions

It’s voiced to be more balanced and articulate than many high-output humbuckers, prioritizing clarity and a vintage-inspired tone over sheer aggression.
The locking tuners certainly help, but the tremolo itself is a standard design; careful setup and good-quality strings are essential for optimal tuning stability.
The transition from a rounder 9.5in radius at the nut to a flatter 14in radius higher up makes bending easier and provides a more comfortable feel for a wider range of playing styles.
