Frequently Asked Questions
The 'D' profile is comfortable, moderately thin, and offers a good balance between speed and grip; it's a versatile shape, though some might prefer a thicker C shape.
Yes, the standard single coil design makes swapping pickups relatively straightforward, though some modification to the pickguard may be needed for different sizes.
You might perceive a *slight* reduction in overall sustain compared to a set-neck, but the alder body and well-constructed neck compensate well, and it's not a major factor.
