Frequently Asked Questions

They convincingly emulate the output and tonal character of vintage PAFs – warm, articulate, and with a pleasing low-end growl – though of course, not identical.
The chambering reduces weight and improves resonance, but it does slightly reduce overall sustain compared to a solid body – a worthwhile trade-off for comfort and tone.
