Frequently Asked Questions
The relicing is primarily cosmetic; it’s done to replicate vintage wear. A skilled builder like Dave Brown ensures the process doesn’t compromise the wood’s integrity, but it's something to consider if you prefer a pristine finish.
This is a Masterbuilt instrument, meaning it's personally overseen by Dave Brown, resulting in superior build quality, material selection, and attention to detail beyond a standard Custom Shop model.
It’s a faithful recreation of a 60s 'C' shape, which is generally a comfortable, medium-full profile – not as thin as some modern necks, but not overly chunky either.
