The SBR1.6VC+ is a seriously well-equipped instrument. The Evertune system is a huge plus for consistent tuning, and the Duncan Solar+ pickups give you a powerful, modern tone.

Frequently Asked Questions
It's a fully mechanical system that uses a fan-like mechanism on the bridge to maintain constant tension on the strings, keeping it in tune; setup is straightforward, similar to a standard bridge but with some initial calibration.
The C profile is a fairly standard, comfortable shape, but the 43mm nut width might feel a little narrower than some prefer; it's generally suitable for most hand sizes but worth trying if possible.
They offer a similar level of output and clarity, with a slightly more modern high-midrange character than some classic Seymour Duncan models, making them ideal for contemporary rock and metal sounds.
