Frequently Asked Questions
The Sustainiac uses a driver pickup to create infinite sustain—it’s essentially a built-in harmonizer. It’s controlled by the dedicated switch and volume knob, offering straightforward adjustment of the effect’s intensity.
The Ultra Thin C profile is designed for speed, but it's noticeably slim. Players with larger hands might find it a bit cramped, so trying it in person is recommended.
The 1500 series is a reliable, double-locking tremolo, but it lacks some of the finer tuning options and smoother action found on more expensive versions. It's still excellent for aggressive playing and dive bombs, though.
