Frequently Asked Questions

It's less aggressive than a truly overwound pickup, offering a more balanced and articulate tone, but still provides a noticeable increase in output and warmth.
Yes, the Modern C profile is noticeably thinner and more consistently shaped than older Strat necks, offering a faster, more modern playing experience.
It's a usable split, but it won't perfectly replicate the character of a traditional single-coil – expect a slightly 'thinner' sound with a touch of hum.
