Frequently Asked Questions
The fretwork is decent out of the box, but might benefit from a professional leveling/crowning for ultimate playability; it's a common upgrade on budget guitars.
They lean towards vintage, offering a slightly scooped midrange and a softer high-end, but with a bit more output than some truly old pickups – a good compromise for modern use.
The tremolo is functional, but it's a budget-level unit. Expect some tuning instability with aggressive use and potential need for shimming or lubrication.
