Frequently Asked Questions
The 'C' profile is a reasonable approximation, a little more consistently shaped than some truly vintage necks, but still comfortable and familiar.
It's a vintage-style trem, so it will require occasional tuning adjustments, especially with aggressive use, but it's generally more stable than cheaper trem systems.
Absolutely, the pickup routing is standard Strat, so dropping in aftermarket pickups is a straightforward process.
