Frequently Asked Questions

The 'C' profile is generally comfortable, slightly more modern than a true vintage '60s neck, but still feels familiar and easy to play for most.
The S7V tremolo is reasonably stable, but as with any tremolo system, proper setup and occasional tuning checks are recommended for optimal performance.
The Sire pickups aim for a similar vintage vibe, but with a slightly more articulate and defined character; they’re a bit hotter and more responsive than some classic Fender offerings.
