Frequently Asked Questions

The Trembucker has a slightly wider bobbin to accommodate the increased string travel inherent in tremolo systems, preventing string binding.
Absolutely, it will work great on a fixed bridge, though you might notice slightly less sustain compared to a standard JB due to the wider bobbin.
It’s possible, given the high output. Careful volume balancing and potentially some EQ tweaking will be needed to blend it well, but it's achievable.
