Frequently Asked Questions
It's likely a more modern 'C' shape, slightly thinner than a true vintage 50s profile, offering easier playability but lacking that old-school chunkiness.
They appear to be closer to vintage P90 specs – not overly hot, providing a balanced output with a good amount of clarity and grit.
It's a 'New Look' nitro finish, meaning it’s a thinner application than a thick vintage nitro; it'll age and develop a nice patina, but be mindful of humidity and temperature changes to prevent checking.
