- • Faded finish offers a unique vintage aesthetic and a more broken-in feel.
CONS

Frequently Asked Questions
The thinner nitro finish on a faded guitar generally allows more of the wood’s natural resonance to project, often resulting in a slightly warmer and more open tone.
Uncovered pickups can be more susceptible to string noise, but the 85/15s are well-balanced and generally manageable with proper technique and potentially a noise gate.
The Pattern Thin is noticeably slimmer and flatter, offering faster playing for those accustomed to modern neck profiles – a departure from the more substantial feel of older PRS necks.
