Frequently Asked Questions
The Modern 'C' is noticeably thinner and more uniform than vintage '50s or '60s profiles, offering a faster, more modern feel.
They're not high-output, but the Alnico 5 magnets provide plenty of punch and clarity for those genres; it’ll still have that classic Strat voice.
While functional, the tremolo benefits from a proper setup to minimize tuning issues, especially if you plan on using it extensively.
