Frequently Asked Questions
The Mustang saddle improves string alignment and intonation, contributing to a smoother feel and potentially a slightly more focused, less muddy low-end compared to a traditional Jaguar bridge.
While vintage-style, the tremolo is reasonably stable with proper setup, but aggressive whammy use will likely necessitate occasional tuning checks and potentially a heavier gauge string set.
The Modern 'C' is a more consistent and generally thinner profile than the often-irregular vintage '60s Jaguar necks, offering a more modern and comfortable playing experience for many players.
