Frequently Asked Questions
The 'C' profile is comfortable, but slightly more substantial than many Fender necks – it's not a thin, flat profile, but still very playable.
They're not completely silent, but Roswell pickups are surprisingly well-shielded and quieter than many other budget alternatives – the noise is manageable.
It's a basic synchronized tremolo; while it works, it’s best suited for subtle vibrato and won't handle extreme dive bombs without requiring frequent tuning adjustments.
