Frequently Asked Questions
The relicing is cosmetic; Fender's Custom Shop ensures it doesn't compromise the guitar’s stability or playability, although some might prefer a cleaner instrument.
While not exact replicas, Fender's hand-wound pickups are meticulously designed to capture the tonal nuances and responsiveness of genuine '50s Strat pickups – a very close approximation.
The vintage-style tremolo offers a more subtle, floating feel; it’s less stable for extreme dive bombs than a modern trem, but more authentic to the era.
