Frequently Asked Questions

While visually striking, the relicing is done to not impede playability; the neck still has a comfortable feel and the fretwork is excellent, though some minor adjustments might be needed to personal preference.
They're designed to emulate the output and tonal characteristics of those classic pickups, offering a warm, slightly gritty tone with plenty of chime and clarity, though nuances differ from originals.
Vintage tremolos generally require more frequent setup and can be less stable than modern versions; proper string winding and a careful setup are essential for optimal performance.
