Frequently Asked Questions
The 'C' profile is comfortable and familiar, but generally a bit more modern – slightly thinner than some of the older, more rounded Fender necks.
They're more on the mellow side, offering clarity and articulation rather than high output. Expect a vintage-style tone with a good amount of snap.
It's a standard tremolo system, not a floating trem, and it’s not blocked from the factory, allowing for some vibrato action.
