Frequently Asked Questions
The NOS pickups are generally considered to have a slightly more refined, less brittle tone than current production Lipstick pickups, closer to the originals.
While not as rigid as a solid wood body, the construction is surprisingly stable, especially with the poplar core. Handle with reasonable care, and it’ll hold up fine.
The adjustable saddles allow for more precise intonation than older Danelectro models, resulting in more accurate tuning up the neck.
