Frequently Asked Questions
The wraparound design generally contributes to a tighter, more focused sustain, often perceived as a bit 'punchier' than a traditional stopbar.
While robust, hide glue joints are sensitive to humidity changes; maintaining a stable environment and occasional re-gluing by a qualified luthier is recommended long-term.
These Custom P-90s are voiced for a slightly more refined and articulate tone, retaining the P-90 grit but with a touch more clarity and definition.
