Frequently Asked Questions
The ProBuckers aim for a similar vibe, but generally have a slightly more aggressive output and a touch more clarity than the classic Gibson 48 humbuckers.
Epiphone has improved their binding quality significantly; while not as robust as a Gibson, the cream binding on this model is generally well-applied and durable.
The '59 rounded medium C profile is inspired by the 50s era, but it's a modern interpretation – a bit slimmer and more consistently shaped than many original vintage necks.
