Frequently Asked Questions
The 'C' shape is a modern interpretation; it’s thinner and more uniform than many original 50s necks, but still offers a comfortable, vintage-like feel.
Absolutely. The standard Stratocaster pickup routing allows for straightforward replacement with aftermarket pickups – a common and easy upgrade.
Like any nitro finish, it’s susceptible to wear; a quality vinyl wrap or careful handling will help protect the finish, but it will age gracefully with some character.
