Frequently Asked Questions
It absolutely makes a difference; hide glue allows for a more flexible bond, enhancing resonance and sustain compared to modern adhesives.
Custombuckers offer a more refined and consistent tone than vintage pickups, with a bit more clarity, but they lack some of the unpredictable character of originals.
The aging is cosmetic and doesn't compromise the guitar's structural integrity, but handle it with care as you would any premium instrument.
