Frequently Asked Questions
The FU Tone offers more subtle vibrato capabilities and superior tuning stability, unlike the more extreme range of a Floyd Rose.
It's a slightly more sculpted profile than some of their other necks, but still comfortable; players familiar with vintage-style necks will find it quite familiar.
The SSH+ is designed for it - it retains clarity and articulation even when pushed hard, avoiding the muddy response common with many high-output pickups.
