Frequently Asked Questions

The Journeyman Relic process is cosmetic; it's carefully executed to mimic wear without compromising the wood's strength or the neck's stability.
They have a slightly higher output than vintage-spec single coils, providing a richer, more powerful tone without sacrificing that classic Strat chime.
Vintage tremolos require more precise setup and string changes; they aren’t as inherently stable as modern systems, but with a good setup, they’re perfectly usable.
