Frequently Asked Questions

The Pale Moon finish is glossier, so it’ll show fingerprints and smudges more easily than a satin finish; regular polishing is recommended.
They handle heavier rock well, offering a thicker, more articulate sound than traditional humbuckers, though not necessarily for the most extreme metal applications.
The Gen III tremolo is quite stable, especially with the locking tuners, but as with any trem system, proper setup and string changes are key to optimal performance.
