Frequently Asked Questions
Splitting the humbucker opens up a surprisingly convincing single-coil voice, adding a brighter, more articulate option for cleaner tones and funkier rhythms.
The Modern C is noticeably thinner and more rounded than many vintage Tele necks, offering a faster feel and improved access to higher frets.
String-through-body construction generally enhances sustain and resonance by providing a more direct connection between the strings and the body wood.
