Frequently Asked Questions
Hide glue allows for a more flexible and responsive bond between the top and body, resulting in improved resonance, sustain, and a more complex tonal character.
The aging is primarily cosmetic, but the distressing process can subtly affect the finish's feel and potentially contribute to a slightly more 'open' tone by reducing the finish's damping effect.
The Alnico 3s are generally lower output than Burstbuckers, offering a more vintage, warmer tone with a smoother high-end, whereas Burstbuckers have more aggressive bite and higher output.
