Frequently Asked Questions

The Modern 'C' profile is a comfortable, middle-ground shape – not overly thick or thin, suitable for many hand sizes and playing styles.
The Alnico 5 pickups offer a slightly hotter and more articulate tone than the standard Player pickups, with a bit more bite and sustain.
