Frequently Asked Questions
The finish is thin, allowing excellent resonance, and the aging is purely cosmetic; it doesn't affect the instrument's core sound or feel.
They are unpotted, which contributes to a more open, dynamic sound with increased breathiness and a vintage character – a hallmark of '61 era pickups.
The 'Skinny 'C'' profile is noticeably thinner and more comfortable than many contemporary Gibson necks, providing a smoother playing experience for some.
