Frequently Asked Questions
Korina is lighter and more resonant, lending a brighter, airier tone with more sustain than mahogany, which tends to be darker and more focused.
Yes, they're inherently noisier than potted pickups, but contribute to a more raw, vintage character; noise gates or careful gain staging are recommended for clean recordings.
The '50s 'C' profile is noticeably thicker and rounder than the slim, tapered necks common on modern Flying Vs, offering a more substantial grip.
