Frequently Asked Questions
It's a digitally modeled infinite sustain system—essentially, it creates a sustained note without constant picking. The onboard controls allow you to blend the sustain with the natural signal, offering a range of effects from subtle thickening to full-on drone.
The Thin C profile is relatively slim, so while it’s comfortable for most, players with very large hands might find it a touch narrow. It's definitely on the thinner side compared to some vintage-style necks.
Like any Floyd Rose tremolo, it will require a brief setup period after restringing to maintain tuning stability, but it’s a fairly user-friendly system. Regular maintenance like lubricating the nut and pivots is recommended.
