Frequently Asked Questions
Custombuckers aim for a PAF-like tone, but with slightly higher output and a more focused midrange; a modern interpretation of a classic.
The VOS finish is thinned to mimic aged nitrocellulose lacquer, allowing the wood to breathe more freely, potentially enhancing resonance and sustain.
While generally well-made, lefty Gibsons sometimes have slightly longer wait times and occasionally minor cosmetic differences due to mirroring the original design.
