Frequently Asked Questions
The VTC is a more subtle and natural-sounding system than some of Gibson’s older onboard electronics, offering a cleaner amplified tone without excessive feedback.
The neck profile is a slim taper, generally comfortable for most hand sizes, but those preferring a thicker neck might find it a little slender.
Yes, the traditional 'belly up' bridge design subtly alters string angle and vibrational pathways, contributing to a slightly warmer and more complex sustain compared to a flatter bridge.
