Frequently Asked Questions

The LC Qs aim for a similar vintage-voiced humbucker tone but are generally slightly more articulate and less overwound, offering a more balanced sound.
The 'C' profile is a fairly standard, comfortable shape, but the 43mm nut width might feel a little narrower than some prefer for larger hands.
The Wilkinson tremolo is a decent performer, but it's not a high-end floating trem – expect some tuning instability with extreme use.
