Frequently Asked Questions
This is a more subtle relic – it's aged, but not aggressively worn. It’s aiming for a ‘played but cared for’ aesthetic, rather than a beat-up look.
The frets are finished with a slight bevel, providing a comfortable feel without significantly altering the vintage tone. They aren't heavily rolled, retaining a bit more vintage snap.
It's a fairly standard 60s 'C', but with a slightly more rounded feel than some of the thinner examples. It's a comfortable, versatile profile that should suit a wide range of players.
