Frequently Asked Questions

The 60s profile is a comfortable C shape, slightly thinner than a vintage Gibson but not as slim as a modern shred neck.
The fret edges are smoothly finished, but not extensively rolled or beveled – they're comfortable to play, but some players might prefer further refinement.
The high-gloss finish is quite durable, but like any nitrocellulose-style finish, it's susceptible to chipping with rough handling.
