Frequently Asked Questions
Resinator is a durable, synthetic material; it's slicker than rosewood, offering faster playing, but lacks the tonal complexity and warmth of natural wood.
While the 13.8K bridge pickup provides high output, the Hagstrom Custom 62 set is more suited for classic rock and blues; high-gain metal might sound muddy.
The 19-20.5mm neck thickness is on the thicker side, feeling closer to a vintage Gibson profile than a slim Fender neck – a comfortable, substantial feel.
