Frequently Asked Questions
The NOS finish is thinner than a gloss, allowing more of the wood's natural resonance to project. It's a subtle difference, but contributes to a slightly more open and airy tone.
The vintage-style tremolo requires careful setup and quality strings, but it's generally stable if properly maintained – it's not a locking tremolo.
The reverse wound middle pickup creates a more balanced output across all three pickups and offers unique phase combinations when combined with the other pickups.
