Frequently Asked Questions
The Custombuckers aim to emulate the character of a vintage PAF, but they're generally a bit more focused and less microphonic, offering a tighter, more controlled sound.
Yes, Ebony finishes are notoriously soft and show scratches easily, which contributes to the 'VOS' (Vintage Original Finish) aesthetic but requires careful handling.
Kluson tuners from this era are generally reliable, but they won’t offer the absolute tuning stability of modern locking tuners; occasional adjustments may be needed.
