Frequently Asked Questions
Hide glue allows for more flexibility and vibration transfer, generally resulting in a more resonant and lively tone with improved sustain.
They're designed to be a bit hotter than vintage PAFs, providing more output and a slightly more aggressive edge, while retaining clarity and definition.
The aging is primarily cosmetic, but the thinner finish allows the wood to breathe more, potentially contributing to a slightly more open and resonant tone.
