Frequently Asked Questions
The 'D' profile is fairly close, slightly thinner and more consistently shaped, offering a more modern feel than some of the more rounded vintage Fender necks.
They exhibit a touch of inherent single-coil hum, but it's manageable and part of the vintage character; it's not excessive compared to other single-coil pickups.
The laurel fingerboard has a decent factory finish, but it's not as slick as some lacquered boards; occasional oiling will help maintain its feel and prevent dryness.
