Frequently Asked Questions
The Sustainiac complements the Apocalypse-VI, adding a layer of sustained notes and harmonics – it's not meant to be a direct tonal match, but a creative extension.
The Thin C profile is generally comfortable, but the ebony fretboard is dense; those with very large hands might find it slightly less forgiving than a maple board.
The 1500 series is a solid performer, but doesn't have the ultra-smooth action or tuning stability of the more expensive versions; expect occasional fine-tuning after heavy tremolo use.
