Frequently Asked Questions

Hide glue allows for more efficient transfer of vibrations, resulting in increased sustain and a more resonant tone, generally perceived as 'open' and 'alive.'
Each 'Heavy Aged' finish is applied by hand, so the wear patterns and character will vary slightly, making each instrument unique.
Unpotted pickups are more susceptible to picking up ambient noise but offer a more dynamic, raw, and vintage-style tone with increased harmonic complexity.
