Frequently Asked Questions
The Custombuckers are a very good approximation, capturing much of the warmth and output of vintage PAFs, though they lack some of the nuanced complexity of the originals.
It's a very faithful recreation of the '60s Slim Taper – thinner and more comfortable than many modern necks, but not as slender as some contemporary designs.
The poplar contributes to a slightly brighter, more airy tone than a fully mahogany body, reducing sustain a touch, but maintaining a balanced and versatile sonic character.
