Frequently Asked Questions
The relicing primarily affects the finish, not the core tone, but it does subtly open up the wood, potentially adding a touch more resonance.
It's a slightly fuller, more substantial C shape – a little more girth, providing a secure feel for players with larger hands.
Steel saddles improve sustain and generally offer better tuning stability compared to the original pressed steel Tele bridge components.
