Frequently Asked Questions

The C profile is fairly standard - comfortable and familiar, similar to a vintage Fender neck but perhaps a touch thicker.
P90s are inherently noisier than humbuckers, but these ceramic versions are surprisingly well-contained; a noise gate can easily tame any excessive hum.
The high-gloss finish looks great, but it's a thin nitrocellulose-style lacquer. Handle it with care to avoid chips and scratches.
