Frequently Asked Questions
The aging is convincingly done, but it's an artificial process; it won't replicate the nuanced wear of a truly old instrument's history.
While vintage-correct, Kluson tuners from this era can be slightly less precise than modern locking tuners; proper setup is crucial.
Custombuckers aim to emulate PAFs, offering a similar output and tonal character, but with a slightly more refined and modern clarity.
