Frequently Asked Questions
It's a similar 'C' profile, but slightly more substantial – about a millimeter thicker at both the 1st and 12th frets, offering a more substantial feel.
Absolutely. Schaller locking tuners provide rock-solid tuning stability, especially under heavy string bending or during live performances.
The coil split transforms the humbuckers into single-coil pickups, providing a brighter, more articulate tone – ideal for cleaner sounds and country/blues styles.
