What skill level is this guitar designed for?

The E-1 FR-S is built for intermediate to professional players comfortable with extended-range instruments, locking bridges, and active pickup systems. The thin C-neck profile and deep cutaway make rapid playing and upper-fret access natural, but the Floyd Rose 1500 and Sustainiac switching do require some hands-on familiarity to get the most from them.

What is the Sustainiac pickup and how do I control it?

The Sustainiac neck pickup generates infinite sustain and feedback-like tones without actual feedback, powered by a 9-volt clip-in battery that requires no permanent modification to the guitar. Two independent mini switches let you engage and modulate the Sustainiac independently from the standard volume, tone, and 3-way pickup selector.

What genres and playing styles is this guitar best suited for?

The E-1 FR-S is purpose-built for progressive, djent, extended-range, and experimental music where locking-bridge tuning stability, sustain control, and rapid fretboard access are essential. It is not optimized for country, traditional jazz, or folk playing.

What are the neck dimensions and fretboard specifications?

The neck is mahogany, 3-piece, 25.5 scale with a thin C profile measuring 20mm at the first fret and 22mm at the twelfth. The Pale Moon Ebony fretboard features 24 jumbo frets on a 12-inch-to-16-inch compound radius, ensuring tight intonation and comfortable play across all registers.

What bridge and tuning hardware does this guitar have?

The E-1 FR-S is equipped with a Floyd Rose 1500 locking bridge and locking nut at 41.3mm width, paired with TonePros M Series tuners for stable, precise tuning retention during aggressive tremolo use and extended-range playing.
