Frequently Asked Questions
The McCready pickups have a slightly higher output and a more aggressive edge, leaning towards a hotter, more saturated tone than the standard '60s spec.
The vintage-style tremolo is functional, but it’s not a locking trem, so expect some tuning instability with extreme use. It’s best suited for subtle vibrato and moderate dives.
The finish itself doesn't affect the tone, but the thinner nitro finish allows the wood to breathe more, potentially contributing to a slightly more resonant sound. The worn look adds to the vintage feel.
