Frequently Asked Questions
The LC Standard has a slightly more focused and less muddy tone than a 490R, with a bit more clarity in the mids.
It's a comfortable C profile, definitely leaning towards a vintage feel – not a super-thin modern profile, but also not a thick, chunky 50s neck.
The coil split provides a usable single-coil voice, but don't expect a perfect Strat quack; it's more of a slightly hotter, smoother single-coil sound.
