Frequently Asked Questions
The finish is purely cosmetic; it doesn't impact playability. However, relic'd finishes are thinner, so the wood is exposed, potentially making it slightly more susceptible to wear over decades of heavy playing.
It's a classic profile, but it's definitely on the thicker side. Players used to slimmer, modern necks may find it a bit cumbersome, while vintage enthusiasts will appreciate the feel.
The Custom Shop '55 pickups are a significant step up—more articulate, with a richer low-end and a more defined midrange, offering a more nuanced vintage tone.
