Frequently Asked Questions
The Tone Saver circuit preserves high frequencies often lost through vintage-style potentiometers, resulting in a brighter, more articulate tone compared to a completely vintage-accurate wiring scheme.
No, the relic process is performed by hand, so each guitar will have unique wear patterns and character – no two are exactly alike.
The 'C' shape is a comfortable, mid-point profile – not as thick as some earlier Strats, but thinner than many modern designs, offering a familiar vintage feel.
