Frequently Asked Questions
The Fulcrum tremolo is a vintage-style design, offering less extreme dive and return compared to a Floyd Rose, but is easier to adjust and maintain.
Amaranth is a dense wood; it’s durable, but like any fingerboard, it will show wear over time with heavy use and lack of proper care.
The ceramic humbucker provides a strong output and a focused tone; it’s not going to match a boutique pickup, but it holds its own surprisingly well for the price point.
