Frequently Asked Questions
The 61s are a modern take, offering a slightly more defined and articulate sound than vintage PAFs, but still retain a similar warmth and vintage character.
The Slim Taper profile is generally comfortable, but players with very large hands might prefer a thicker neck. It's a fairly standard profile for Gibson, though.
The TV Yellow is a satin finish, offering a more muted and vintage appearance compared to a gloss finish, and it feels smoother under your hand.
