Frequently Asked Questions
The tremolo is functional, but the block saddles help with stability. Expect some tuning adjustments if you use it extensively.
While versatile, the ceramic pickups have a brighter, less thick tone; it’s better suited to cleaner styles or lighter rock, though distortion can be added.
The 'Modern C' neck profile is fairly standard; it's comfortable for most hand sizes, but it's not particularly thick or wide.
