Frequently Asked Questions
The 'C' shape is a reasonable approximation, offering a comfortable feel, but lacks the subtle variations found in truly vintage necks – it’s a little more uniform.
Absolutely, the standard Strat pickup routing allows for straightforward pickup replacement with readily available aftermarket options.
It’s a vintage-style trem, so it's not as rock-solid as a modern two-point system; a proper setup with new trem springs is highly recommended for consistent performance.
