Frequently Asked Questions
The aging process subtly softens the nitro finish, allowing the wood to 'breathe' a bit more, resulting in slightly enhanced resonance and a more worn-in feel under the fingers.
The '57 profile is thinner than modern necks, so it might feel a bit cramped for those with very large hands, though many find it surprisingly comfortable.
They offer a slightly warmer and fatter tone than some other Custom Shop options, leaning towards a more vintage, slightly compressed sound with excellent clarity and sustain.
