Frequently Asked Questions
The longer scale contributes to a tighter low-end and a slightly brighter overall tone, but requires adjusting your hand positioning and stretching.
While they excel at high-gain rock and metal, the pickups have enough clarity and dynamics for blues, funk, and even cleaner tones when dialed back.
The Modern Tremolo is significantly more stable and allows for wider, more controlled vibrato without sacrificing tuning, unlike many vintage-style units.
