Frequently Asked Questions

The El Diablo pickups have a hotter output and a more aggressive midrange, delivering a snarl that's missing in many standard Fender pickups, while retaining a vintage character.
The 10/56 V-shape is a fairly slim profile, so while comfortable for many, those with very large hands might find it a bit narrow.
The El Diablo pickups are the defining characteristic - they offer a unique, hotter tone, while other custom shop Strats may have different pickup choices and aesthetic finishes.
