Frequently Asked Questions
The 'C' shape is comfortable and familiar, but generally a bit thinner and more modern than a classic '50s Tele neck – more akin to a '60s profile.
The gloss finish is decent, but poplar tends to show scratches more easily than denser woods; a little care will keep it looking sharp.
While the BIGS trem is well-designed, aggressive tremolo use will require occasional tuning checks and potentially a setup to maintain stability.
