Frequently Asked Questions
Custombuckers are generally more articulate and balanced, with a slightly tighter low-end and more refined high-end than standard Gibson pickups.
Yes, the longer tenon improves neck stability and resonance, leading to better sustain and a more connected feel – a subtle but noticeable improvement.
The Rootbeer/Walnut finish is a satin finish, meaning it will show fingerprints and wear more readily than a high-gloss finish, but it also provides a more comfortable feel.
