Frequently Asked Questions
Ash generally delivers a more resonant and articulate tone with a slightly brighter character than alder, offering a touch more 'air' and complexity.
Yes, the Modern 'C' profile is noticeably thinner and more consistently shaped than many vintage Fender necks, providing a faster and more modern feel.
The 2-Point tremolo is a reliable workhorse, but lacks some of the refinements (like stainless steel pivots) found on premium Fender tremolos, though it's a significant improvement over basic versions.
