Frequently Asked Questions

The Josefina is hand-wound to tighter tolerances, aiming for a more authentic '62 P-Bass voicing – richer, more articulate, and with a slightly more refined low-end.
No, each relic job is unique and hand-applied, meaning the amount and style of wear will vary from instrument to instrument, adding to its individual character.
The vintage radius feels rounder and can be more comfortable for some players, but may require more careful string action adjustment to avoid buzzing – it's a trade-off for the vintage vibe.
