Frequently Asked Questions
While not identical, the Custombuckers capture a good portion of the Gibson's warmth and output, offering a convincing approximation at a lower cost.
Epiphone's binding work has improved significantly; this model’s binding is generally well-applied and secure, minimizing the risk of lifting.
The '60s Slim Taper C is a comfortable and modern take on the vintage profile, a bit thinner and more accessible than some of the thicker '60s necks you might find on original models.
