Frequently Asked Questions
It’s likely a slightly slimmer profile than a truly vintage '59, offering a more modern feel while still retaining a comfortable, substantial feel.
It’s primarily cosmetic, though the thinner nitrocellulose lacquer contributes to the guitar's resonance and allows it to 'breathe' more than a thick poly finish would.
They offer excellent tuning stability and a smooth feel, comparable to high-quality vintage tuners, but with the added benefit of modern precision.
