Frequently Asked Questions
The aging is primarily cosmetic, adding wear marks and a vintage look; it shouldn't significantly impact playability, but regular maintenance is still vital.
Raw Vintage pickups meticulously recreate vintage specs, often surpassing Fender's own vintage output in consistency and clarity, with a slightly more defined character.
The medium 'C' profile is a versatile shape – not too thick, not too thin – offering a comfortable balance for a wide range of playing styles and hand sizes.
