Frequently Asked Questions
The satin finish feels smoother and less sticky than a gloss, but some players prefer the look and feel of a glossier finish. It’s a matter of personal preference – the satin will require more diligent cleaning to prevent fingerprints.
They’re designed to emulate the output and tonal characteristics of classic Gibson PAF humbuckers – a bit lower output and more dynamic than modern high-output pickups, leaning towards a warmer, more articulate sound.
The rounded C profile is a fairly standard, comfortable shape, but it’s not as thick as some vintage necks; players with very large hands might find it slightly snug, but most will find it quite playable.
