Frequently Asked Questions

It adds a significant amount of gain, transforming the HT humbuckers into a higher-output, more aggressive tone, suitable for heavier rock styles.
The floating vintage tremolo is generally stable, but requires careful setup and occasional tuning adjustments, as with most floating tremolos.
The 'Soft V' is noticeably different; it's less pronounced than a traditional V and offers a more rounded, comfortable feel than the flatter Modern profile.
