Frequently Asked Questions
The floating vibrato, while cool, isn't a locking trem, so expect some tuning adjustments and potential microtonal shifts with heavy use.
The 'C' shape is fairly standard, but the wider nut width (1.685 in) might feel a bit cramped for those with very large hands.
The bass cut switch subtly rolls off the low end, adding clarity and definition – useful for cutting through a dense mix or achieving a more mid-focused sound.
