Frequently Asked Questions
The relicing is cosmetic; it doesn't significantly impact tone, but some believe it can slightly alter resonance. Fender's Custom Shop ensures the relicing doesn't compromise the guitar's stability.
The Large 'C' profile is intended to evoke the feel of a vintage '60s neck, though individual variations existed. It's generally a comfortable and familiar shape for classic Strat players.
The pickup combination can be complex; the RWRP middle smooths out the bridge's output, but careful tweaking of tone controls is sometimes needed to achieve tonal balance.
