Frequently Asked Questions
Cedar offers a warmer, more immediate response than spruce, with a softer attack and more overtone complexity. It's excellent for fingerstyle and strumming, but may lack the projection of a spruce top.
The Legacy 12 typically features a comfortable, slightly rolled fretboard profile. This contributes to a smoother playing experience and reduces fret-hand fatigue, particularly important for 12-string playing.
The Presys II is designed to be transparent, preserving the guitar's natural tone while providing useful EQ controls to tailor the amplified sound. It’s a well-regarded system for maintaining acoustic integrity.
