Frequently Asked Questions
The '50s profile is a modern interpretation, slightly thinner than a true '59, but still retains that comfortable, rounded feel.
Like any ebony, it's best to keep it properly humidified, but Gibson's finish should provide decent protection.
The wraparound simplifies string changes and often contributes to a more focused, resonant sustain – a slightly different feel than a traditional setup.
