Frequently Asked Questions
The VOS finish is hand-applied and distressed to mimic the look of a well-played vintage instrument, offering a unique, aged appearance unlike a standard gloss.
Like any wood instrument, there's slight variation, but Epiphone strives for consistency with their '59 profile – expect a comfortable medium 'C' shape, though individual necks will differ slightly.
They’re a significant step up from Epiphone's standard pickups, offering a richer, more dynamic response with a slightly higher output and more vintage-inspired voicing.
