Frequently Asked Questions
The coil split opens up a whole new world of single-coil tones, adding chime and clarity, while still retaining the humbucker’s power when needed.
The Nouveau tremolo is relatively stable and forgiving, but some basic setup and understanding of floating tremolos is recommended for optimal performance.
The Nick Johnston C is a modern profile, thinner than a traditional C but not as extreme as a D or V, offering a comfortable balance of speed and control.
