Frequently Asked Questions
The NOS finish, being thinner and replicating a vintage nitrocellulose lacquer, *may* impart a slightly more resonant tone due to reduced damping, though the pickups are the primary tonal factor.
The frets are Super Jumbo, but they are dressed to a comfortable, slightly rounded profile – not a full roll, but more player-friendly than a sharp, vintage style.
It's a custom C, slightly flatter than a typical Fender C profile, designed for Yngwie’s hand size and playing style; it offers a faster feel.
