Frequently Asked Questions
The rounded 'C' profile is closer to the feel of a genuine 1957 Gibson, offering a comfortable vintage vibe, generally thinner than later '60s profiles.
The aging is primarily cosmetic, but the thinner lacquer contributes to a slightly more resonant tone by reducing damping – it's subtle, but noticeable.
The Custom P-90s are voiced to be more articulate and balanced than standard P-90s, offering more clarity and definition while retaining their characteristic grit.
