Frequently Asked Questions

The 'C' profile is a modern interpretation, aiming for the feel of a 50s neck—not a perfect replica, but close enough for comfortable playing and vintage character.
Yes, the pickups are standard Strat single-coil type and easily replaceable with aftermarket options for further tonal customization.
The vintage-style tremolo is prone to tuning instability if not properly set up; a proper setup with a heavier gauge string set and potentially a tremolo block upgrade will improve stability.
