Frequently Asked Questions
The 'C' shape is a bit more modern and comfortable than the often-thicker vintage Jazzmaster necks, making it easier to navigate those extra strings.
While not high-end locking tuners, the vintage-style machines hold tune reasonably well, but frequent string changes and careful setup are still recommended for 12-string stability.
It provides a decent level of scratch protection, but it's not going to withstand a serious impact – treat it with care like any vintage-style pickguard.
