Frequently Asked Questions
It's a convincing imitation, but a discerning eye will notice it's artificially aged. The finish has a consistent character, unlike the unpredictable nature of genuine wear.
They're advertised as CTS pots, which suggests a good quality, but their exact vintage reproduction spec isn’t explicitly stated – expect modern CTS tolerances.
The vintage-style tremolo is functional, but requires careful setup and potentially upgraded springs to avoid tuning issues, especially with aggressive use.
