Frequently Asked Questions

The neck is likely to be a modern take on the '59 profile – slimmer than some vintage examples, but still retaining a comfortable, rounded feel.
They're designed to emulate the character of early PAF humbuckers – not high-output, but with a thick, creamy tone and a nice mid-range presence.
Nitrocellulose finishes are inherently softer and can develop a 'relic'd' look over time, but proper care will minimize chipping; it's part of the charm for many.
