Frequently Asked Questions
They offer a more open, airy tone with a slightly scooped midrange, delivering a more authentic 1961 Strat sound, less compressed than modern pickups.
While nitro finishes are known for aging beautifully, they are more susceptible to checking than poly finishes, especially with temperature and humidity fluctuations.
The vintage tremolo requires careful setup and string changes to maintain stability; it's best suited for subtle vibrato rather than extreme dive bombs.
