Frequently Asked Questions

The FAT 55s aim for a PAF vibe, but are hotter and more articulate, lacking some of the inherent compression of vintage pickups.
Jatoba is generally stable, but like any wood, it benefits from occasional conditioning to prevent cracking, especially in dry climates.
The 'Modern C' is generally thinner and more rounded than a typical Fender 'C' shape, offering a faster feel for many players.
