Frequently Asked Questions

The Double Tap is voiced for clarity and high output, offering a tighter, more focused sound than some of the hotter, muddier Fender humbuckers.
Yes, the Modern 'C' is noticeably thinner and more uniform than many vintage '50s or '60s profiles, offering a more modern feel.
While it's a vintage-style trem, it's generally stable, but heavy vibrato use might necessitate a professional setup and potentially heavier gauge strings.
