Frequently Asked Questions
Resinator is very durable and stable, but feels harder and less 'organic' than rosewood; it's a matter of personal preference.
While they lean towards a vintage tone, the Custom 60s can handle moderate gain; for full-on metal, you might find them a bit lacking in extreme aggression.
It's a relatively slim D, but with a bit more meat than a super-thin profile – comfortable for fast playing without feeling too flimsy.
