Frequently Asked Questions
The Light Aged finish is primarily aesthetic, but the thinner lacquer may allow for slightly more wood resonance than a thicker gloss finish, though the difference is subtle.
They are designed to evoke the look and feel of vintage Kluson tuners, but are modern reproductions built to tighter tolerances for improved stability and reliability.
While the P-90s excel in blues and rock, they can be used for other genres with careful amp and effects settings, though it's not as versatile as a humbucker-equipped Les Paul.
