Considering the big swoops and bends that the tremolo arm can deliver, the tuning stays remarkably accurate.
The orchestration is already almost classically Wagnerian; though there remains an excessive amount of tremolo, besides a few lapses into comic violence, as in the yelpings which accompany Ortrud's rage in the night-scene in the second act.
Other features include three custom ' 60s single-coil Strat® pickups, three-ply parchment pickguard, American Vintage synchronized tremolo bridge and Fender/Gotoh® vintage-style tuners.
The guitar also has a very sensitive tremolo arm, the use of which is a fully integral part of his playing style.
There are ethnic styles and even a " Mozart " style with tremolo strings that works great on classical music !
