Frequently Asked Questions
The '78 EVH humbucker adds significant output and a tighter, more aggressive tone, particularly noticeable in higher gain situations, while retaining a characteristic Strat voice.
Relic finishes are inherently unique; each guitar will exhibit slightly different wear patterns and aging characteristics, ensuring a one-of-a-kind appearance.
The narrow tall frets and precise setup generally minimize fret buzz, and the locking tuners contribute to stable intonation even with heavier string gauges and aggressive playing.
