Frequently Asked Questions
The VOS finish is thinner, allowing more of the wood's natural resonance to project, resulting in a slightly more open and airy tone compared to a thicker gloss finish.
It's a bit thicker and more substantial than many modern Gibson necks, offering a vintage feel, but it’s not drastically different; it's more akin to a 50s neck profile.
They’re designed to offer a more refined and slightly warmer tone than some of the hotter, more aggressive P-90s, retaining that classic bite but with a touch more sophistication.
