Frequently Asked Questions
It's a very commendable effort – closer in character than you'd expect at this price point, but lacks the subtle nuances and aged complexity of a vintage Fender pickup.
The caramelization process does subtly reduce the wood's moisture absorption, which can lead to a slightly smoother feel and increased stability across varying humidity levels.
The frets are more accurately described as medium-polished; they're not aggressively rolled but also not overly sharp, offering a comfortable playing experience without feeling overly rounded.
