Frequently Asked Questions

The aging process is purely cosmetic; it doesn't impact playability or tone. The finish is thin and allows the wood to resonate naturally.
They're a faithful recreation of vintage Kluson tuners, offering excellent tuning stability and a classic look. Many players prefer their feel over later Gibson designs.
Custombuckers offer a slightly hotter output and a more focused midrange, providing a more aggressive and modern vintage tone while retaining a core PAF character.
