Frequently Asked Questions
It's a step up from Gibson's older systems, offering a more natural and less 'artificial' amplified sound with better feedback rejection.
The satin finish is less prone to fingerprints than gloss, but it can show wear from constant playing and cleaning over time; a light oiling can help maintain it.
It's a fairly standard 'slim taper' profile, comfortable for most players, though slightly thinner than some older Gibson necks; it's not overly chunky or vintage-feeling.
