Frequently Asked Questions
The 1/2 Blender allows you to combine the neck and bridge pickups, creating unique in-between tones ideal for funk, rhythm, or adding a unique character to lead lines.
The Journeyman Relic is designed to look like a well-loved vintage instrument, with checking, worn finish, and subtle hardware aging—it’s not a heavy relic, but has a distinct character.
The vintage-style tremolo is inherently less stable than a modern two-point system; precise setup and careful use are essential to maintain tuning stability, but it provides that classic Strat feel.
