Frequently Asked Questions

The carbon fiber provides a different kind of sustain – it’s more immediate and focused, lacking the longer, more complex decay often found in spruce, but offering exceptional clarity.
While it projects well, the deep bowl design means it's best suited for smaller to mid-sized venues; amplification is often beneficial for larger spaces.
The walnut neck has a slightly flatter profile than a typical 'C', offering a modern feel that many players find comfortable, though it’s a departure from a more traditional neck shape.
