Frequently Asked Questions

It captures much of the ES-175's warmth and character, but the P90s give it a slightly more aggressive edge. Build quality is very good for the price point, though not quite at the level of a high-end Gibson.
It's primarily cosmetic, though the aging process can subtly open up the pores of the nitro finish, potentially allowing for a touch more resonance. It's more about aesthetics than a significant sonic change.
The nut width is on the wider side, but the C-shape neck profile and 12” radius should make it comfortable even for players with smaller hands. It's definitely a consideration if you're used to a narrower neck.
