Hmmmmmm.

Classic yet also modern looking. It's an A5/14k bridge, A5/8k neck. Perfect for hard rock and will absolutely chug, while the neck pickup does the nice stuff without being overly compressed.

Looks very cool. Do the hex screws have a tonal effect?

All the metal bits have an effect, but the fact that they're hex vs screw doesn't change much. The size/mass of the poles is the key factor.
