Frequently Asked Questions
The Modern C profile is more consistent and generally flatter than the more rounded, often asymmetrical, necks of vintage Strats, offering a more modern feel and easier access to higher frets.
While not high-output, the Alnico 5 pickups provide a good amount of drive and clarity; they’ll handle classic rock and lighter metal genres well with a bit of overdrive.
The 2-Point tremolo is improved over older designs, but it’s not a Floyd Rose – expect some tuning instability with extreme tremolo use; setup is key.
