Frequently Asked Questions
The Tesla pickups capture the essential P90 character – the bite and grit – but with a slightly more modern clarity and a bit more output.
Roasted jatoba is incredibly stable and resistant to changes in humidity, so you shouldn't experience any significant warping or cracking.
The Modern C profile is relatively slim, but the 42 mm nut width provides ample space for larger hands to navigate comfortably.
