Frequently Asked Questions
It's a bit more substantial than a vintage Fender C, but still comfortable – a good middle ground for many players.
They're not as quiet as modern noiseless pickups, but the silk-matte finish helps a bit, and it's manageable with basic noise reduction.
Fretwork is generally decent for the price point, but some minor leveling or polishing might be desired by more discerning players.
