Frequently Asked Questions
The relicing primarily affects the finish and feel, not the tone itself. The wood's resonance remains largely unaffected, so you still get the expected Strat characteristics.
The frets are vintage-dressed, meaning they have a slightly rounded edge, contributing to a comfortable playing experience and a more vintage feel.
The '60 Oval C profile is a very accurate recreation, offering a similar feel to many genuine '60s Strats, but with modern tolerances for consistent playability.
