Frequently Asked Questions
The VTC is a step up from Gibson’s older systems; it’s cleaner and more articulate, providing a more natural amplified tone suitable for a wider range of musical styles.
The neck profile is a slim taper, which helps compensate for the shorter scale, but players with very large hands might still find it slightly cramped; trying one in person is highly recommended.
The finish is a satin rosewood burst, so it’s less prone to showing superficial scratches than a high-gloss finish, but it will still develop a patina with age and use, which many players appreciate.
