Frequently Asked Questions
The Wilkinson VS50 is a more traditional tremolo; it’s easier to adjust and reset than a Floyd Rose, but offers a slightly more limited range of extreme dive-bombs.
The neck thickness (21-23mm) is fairly standard and should suit most hand sizes, but it's a slimmer profile so those who prefer a thicker C-shape might find it a little thin.
The Duncan TB-14 bridge pickup can handle high gain well, delivering a crunchy, articulate tone; however, be mindful of potential noise with very high gain settings.
