Frequently Asked Questions
Ebony is denser than rosewood, resulting in a snappier, brighter tone with more clarity and attack – a tighter low end and more defined highs.
The neck profile is typically a slim taper, but Gibson Custom Shop necks can vary slightly; requesting a specific profile during ordering is advisable.
The shorter scale length offers a rounder, warmer tone and a slightly easier bending feel compared to longer scale guitars.
