Frequently Asked Questions
It's a recreation designed to mimic the look and feel of a vintage nitro finish, allowing for a similar aging process over time.
Texas Specials are wound with hotter magnets and thicker wire, providing increased output and a more aggressive, overdriven tone compared to standard Fender pickups.
Slabboard fingerboards can require slightly more precise setup, but a skilled technician can achieve excellent playability and intonation.
