Frequently Asked Questions
The relicing is primarily cosmetic; skilled Journeyman Relic Masters ensure it doesn't compromise the wood's strength or finish integrity.
They're meticulously wound to spec, aiming for the tonal characteristics of genuine 1950s Strat pickups – a very close recreation.
While it evokes vintage feel, it's not designed for extreme tremolo dives; a professional setup and potentially heavier gauge strings are recommended for more aggressive use.
