Frequently Asked Questions
Sonic Blue is a vibrant, slightly brighter blue than many vintage Fender colors; it's a modern take on a classic shade.
The Modern C profile is noticeably thinner and more comfortable than the '50s C or '60s slim C, offering a faster feel.
The tremolo is functional, but benefits from a professional setup and potentially upgraded springs to prevent excessive flutter under heavier playing.
