Frequently Asked Questions
The 'C' profile is generally a bit more comfortable and thinner than the often-chunky Fender Jazzmaster necks, making it more accessible for some players.
While they shine with overdrive, these pickups can produce usable clean tones with careful volume and tone adjustments; they’ll have a darker, warmer character than brighter single coils.
It's a vintage-style tremolo, so it’s not a locking system. Expect to do occasional tuning checks and potentially replace the springs for optimal stability.
