Frequently Asked Questions
Fender's relicing process is very detailed, but it's an interpretation – no two vintage guitars are identical, so it won't perfectly replicate a specific instrument.
Yes, the measurements provided (22mm at the 1st fret, 25mm at the 12th) align with typical '59 profiles; it’s a comfortable, full-ish feel.
These hand-wound pickups offer a more nuanced, less aggressive tone than many modern Strat pickups; expect more chime and less high-output sizzle.
