Frequently Asked Questions

Carbon fiber is stiffer, resulting in a brighter, more focused tone with less 'breathing' than spruce, and it’s incredibly stable across temperature and humidity changes.
The roundback provides a unique ergonomic feel, cradling the player; it also slightly diffuses the sound, offering a more intimate, less directional projection.
It decouples the top from the body, allowing it to vibrate more freely, increasing sustain and resonance – essentially, it lets the top 'breathe' more effectively.
