Frequently Asked Questions
The TV Jones Classic pickups offer a slightly more focused and articulate tone, retaining the warmth and character but with a bit more clarity and definition than some older Dynacord-era pickups.
The neck profile is a comfortable 'neo classic' shape – not overly thick, but with enough substance to provide good grip. It's generally well-suited for a range of hand sizes.
The Grover Imperial machine heads paired with the Bigsby B6 generally provide good tuning stability, but extreme tremolo use may require occasional adjustments, as with any vintage-style tremolo system.
