Frequently Asked Questions
The finish itself doesn’t drastically alter the tone, but the aging process can subtly open up the wood, potentially enhancing resonance and sustain.
They are standard humbucker size, so replacements are possible, but finding exact tonal matches might be challenging given their custom nature.
The Trapeze tailpiece generally offers a slightly more resonant and ‘floated’ feel, often perceived as enhancing sustain, but it’s a subtle difference compared to a stop tail.
