Frequently Asked Questions
Custombuckers offer a hotter, more articulate output than a typical '50s PAF, but retain that classic humbucker warmth and character.
The VOS finish is intentionally thin and allows for some natural checking to develop over time, but it's sealed to prevent excessive cracking.
The '59 Medium C is slimmer and more rounded than many modern Les Paul necks, offering a more comfortable, vintage-style feel.
