Frequently Asked Questions
The Solar pickups offer a slightly more scooped midrange than many common high-output pickups, providing clarity and articulation even at high gain.
The 'C' profile is generally considered a comfortable, versatile shape, but the 43mm nut width might feel wider than some prefer, especially for smaller hands.
While the locking nut and machine heads simplify the process, setting up a Floyd Rose tremolo requires a bit more understanding and care to maintain proper intonation and float.
