Frequently Asked Questions
The '59 medium C profile is thinner and more rounded than many contemporary Gibson necks, offering a comfortable, vintage feel.
Being unpotted, they’re slightly more prone to hum than potted pickups, but the vintage tone outweighs this for most players.
The VOS (Vintage Original Finish) is a thin, nitrocellulose lacquer that allows the wood to breathe, potentially contributing subtly to the resonance, but its primary purpose is aesthetics.
