Frequently Asked Questions

The 'C' profile is fairly standard, offering a comfortable feel similar to many vintage Gibsons, though perhaps a touch more modern in its shape.
They are closer to a vintage spec, delivering a balanced output with good clarity and a touch of warmth, avoiding the overly aggressive tone of modern high-output pickups.
The black finish can show minor scuffs more easily than lighter colors, so a bit of care is recommended, but it's a durable finish overall.
