Frequently Asked Questions
The Modern C profile is noticeably thinner and faster than a traditional U-shaped neck, offering a more contemporary feel and easier access to higher frets.
While a Strat isn’t a metal machine, the Alnico 5 pickups provide enough output and clarity for rock and even some lighter metal styles, especially when paired with an overdrive pedal.
It’s a functional tremolo, but it’s not a locking trem so it will require occasional tuning adjustments after extensive use and aggressive vibrato.
