Frequently Asked Questions
The C profile is a modern interpretation, generally a bit more uniform than older, more varied Fender necks, but still comfortable and familiar.
While not high-output, the ceramic pickups can handle moderate gain, but you’ll likely want to upgrade for truly aggressive tones.
The block saddles improve stability, but it's still a budget tremolo – expect some tuning drift with extreme use.
