Frequently Asked Questions
They're more articulate and have a slightly hotter output, offering a more defined midrange and a bit more 'growl' without losing that classic Fender clarity.
It's primarily cosmetic, but the aging process can subtly affect the wood's resonance over time; however, the pickup and wood choices are the primary tonal factors here.
NAMM limited editions often hold their value well, particularly if they're in excellent condition and retain their original case and documentation, but it's never guaranteed.
