Frequently Asked Questions
The BKPs offer a hotter output and a more defined midrange, resulting in a fatter, more aggressive tone than stock Fender pickups while retaining a vintage character.
The 'U' shape is a fairly full profile, so it should be comfortable for most hand sizes, but those preferring a thinner profile might find it a bit chunky.
The vintage-style tremolo is functional but not as stable as modern designs; lighter use and proper setup are key to maintaining tuning stability.
