Frequently Asked Questions
The Fulcrum is a vintage-style trem, offering subtle vibrato rather than extreme dive bombs like a Floyd Rose – it's more stable and easier to maintain.
Amaranth is quite durable, but like any dark-colored fingerboard, it *can* show dirt or oil buildup with regular playing; proper cleaning will keep it looking its best.
It's a modern 'C' shape, slightly flatter and thinner than a vintage Fender neck, making it feel faster and more comfortable for many players.
