CONS

Frequently Asked Questions
The ceramic humbucker delivers decent output and a powerful sound, but it lacks the complexity and warmth of alnico pickups found in more expensive instruments.
The tremolo is functional but basic; you might experience tuning instability with extreme use and might want to consider a professional setup for better performance.
The 'C' shape is a modern comfort profile, generally a bit thinner and more uniform than a vintage-style 'oval C' neck, making it easier for many players to handle.
