Frequently Asked Questions
The mahogany adds a noticeable warmth and sustain, reducing some of the ice-pick brightness you'd get from a maple body. Expect a rounder, more 'woody' tone, especially in the lower frequencies.
The 2-point tremolo with bent steel saddles is a significant improvement over earlier models, offering better tuning stability. However, heavy trem use will still require occasional tuning adjustments.
Alnico 5 magnets generally provide a slightly hotter and more focused tone than standard ceramic magnets, with a richer harmonic content. They're still very much in the classic Strat territory, but with a bit more 'growl'.
