Frequently Asked Questions
Coil-splitting the humbucker gives you a more Fender-like single-coil tone, broadening the guitar’s sonic palette and allowing for cleaner sounds.
The Modern C profile is generally comfortable for a variety of hand sizes, but it’s not a super thick neck – players preferring a D or U shape might find it slightly thinner.
The string-through design generally provides improved sustain and a tighter low-end response compared to a standard Tele bridge, contributing to a more focused tone.
