John uses Hide or Animal protein glue where it matters for TONE, and that is like wearing your lucky suspenders along with the lucky Adirondack shoes...

Not to mention the CF reinforced neck which allows a slimmer neck to move a lot of string vibe to the top, where it makes music, rather than the headstock where it does not...

Blah, blah, blah.

But they do!
