Frequently Asked Questions
Hide glue is more flexible than modern adhesives, allowing for slightly more vibration and a more resonant, open tone with increased sustain.
They're designed to emulate the output of a vintage PAF, but with a slightly more focused and refined character - a bit less microphonic and a touch more clarity.
It's primarily cosmetic, but the thinner finish allows the wood to breathe more freely, contributing to a slightly more resonant tone compared to a heavier gloss finish.
