Frequently Asked Questions
It's similar, slightly thinner than a typical Fender, offering a more comfortable feel for faster playing, but still retaining a familiar feel.
They're surprisingly good! They offer a clear, punchy tone with a good amount of output, avoiding the muddy or weak character often found on budget pickups.
