Frequently Asked Questions

It's a different beast – the Sustainiac is integrated and more subtle, offering a unique harmonic texture rather than a full-on, pedal-driven sustain effect.
While it's a thin profile, the 41.3 mm nut width provides enough room for most hand sizes, but players with very large hands might find it slightly snug.
The Floyd Rose 1500 is a reliable tremolo system, but requires proper setup and occasional fine-tuning, especially with aggressive tremolo use.
