The S1.6FRBOP+ is a seriously well-equipped guitar for the price. That Floyd Rose tremolo and those Duncan pickups make it ideal for modern rock, metal, and anything needing a bit of edge. It’s a great option for players looking for a high-performance instrument without the premium-priced tag.

Frequently Asked Questions
It’s a hotter pickup than many vintage-voiced options, offering a tighter, more aggressive sound with a good amount of clarity – think somewhere between a high-output PAF and a modern ceramic pickup.
It’s not pre-oiled, so regular conditioning with a dedicated ebony oil is recommended to prevent cracking and maintain its playability.
While capable, the Floyd Rose can be intimidating initially; it’s best suited for players who are comfortable with tremolo systems or willing to learn the basics of setup and tuning.
