Frequently Asked Questions

The Modern C profile is a bit flatter than a vintage Gibson but closer than a typical Fender C. It offers a comfortable, modern feel that suits a variety of playing styles.
They lean towards a vintage voicing, offering a balanced output with a good amount of clarity and dynamic response – not overly high-output, but still plenty powerful.
The high-gloss finish is susceptible to scratches like any gloss finish, so a little care is needed. The veneer itself is relatively thin, so avoiding impacts is recommended.
