Frequently Asked Questions

The 'Modern C' profile is a comfortable middle ground – thinner than a vintage '50s C, but not as slim as a modern shred neck, offering good access to higher frets.
Yes, stainless steel frets resist wear much better than nickel-silver, offering smoother playability and longer-lasting fretboard condition.
It's quite effective – it cleans up the humbuckers nicely, providing a usable single-coil tone, although it’s more of a warm, vintage-style single coil than a bright, Strat-like sound.
