Frequently Asked Questions
The aging process is purely cosmetic; it doesn’t compromise the wood's integrity. It's done with careful techniques to simulate wear without weakening the instrument.
They’re designed to emulate PAF tones, but they generally have a slightly higher output, providing a bit more punch and sustain.
The aniline dye is thin and porous, allowing the wood to breathe and minimally affecting the guitar's natural resonance and tone.
