Frequently Asked Questions

Hide glue allows for greater wood vibration and resonance, resulting in a more open and complex tone with increased sustain.
The cracks are applied artificially to mimic vintage wear; they're superficial and don’t compromise the guitar's strength.
They're designed to emulate the output and character of early PAFs, offering a similar warm, articulate, and slightly compressed tone, but with modern consistency.
