Frequently Asked Questions
Relicing primarily affects the aesthetics, but the removal of finish lacquer can subtly open up the wood, potentially enhancing resonance slightly.
The frets are likely to have a slight bevel, which is typical for vintage-style instruments, contributing to a smoother feel and easier bending.
Josefina Campos pickups are generally considered to be a step above Fender's reissue pickups, offering a more nuanced and refined vintage tone with improved clarity and dynamic range.
