Frequently Asked Questions
The VTC is a step up, offering a more natural amplified tone with improved clarity and less feedback than some older Gibson systems – it’s a very well-regarded system.
It's an aesthetic recreation – the finish aims to evoke a vintage look, but it’s a new finish application, not a true relic'd finish.
It’s a comfortable, fairly standard Gibson neck profile – not as slim as some modern guitars, but not overly thick either, providing a good balance for various playing styles.
