Frequently Asked Questions
The YJMs are significantly brighter and more aggressive, with a tighter high-end and increased output, making them ideal for shredding.
The Modern C profile is relatively slim, so players accustomed to thicker necks might find it a bit thin, though still manageable.
While aesthetically correct, vintage-style tremolos require more frequent setup and maintenance to ensure stable tuning, compared to more modern designs.
