Frequently Asked Questions
The relic process is primarily cosmetic, but Fender's Custom Shop ensures the guitar remains structurally sound and playable, though some minor fret settling might occur.
While impossible to perfectly replicate, these Fat '60s pickups are designed to capture the tonal characteristics of those vintage pickups – offering a similar output and dynamic response.
The vintage-style tremolo, combined with the Schaller machine heads, provides surprisingly good tuning stability for a floating tremolo, though aggressive use will require more frequent adjustments.
