Frequently Asked Questions
It adds a significant, but controllable, mid-focused overdrive, making it great for lead work or adding grit to rhythm tones without needing external pedals.
The roasting process stabilizes the wood, making it significantly less susceptible to cracking than raw burl, but careful humidity control is still recommended for longevity.
Music Man’s floating trem is noticeably more stable than many vintage designs, thanks to the locking tuners and improved tremolo block; it allows for expressive vibrato without drastic tuning shifts.
