Frequently Asked Questions
The Josefina pickups offer a noticeably more refined and powerful vintage tone, with better clarity and sustain compared to standard Fender pickups.
The relicing is primarily cosmetic, but the controlled aging process aims to mimic the wear and character of a genuinely vintage instrument, subtly influencing the resonance.
This wiring provides expanded tonal options, including a series/parallel switch for the middle pickup, offering greater versatility than a standard Strat configuration.
