Frequently Asked Questions
Cedar offers a warmer, more immediate response than spruce, often favored for its softer attack and richer overtones, particularly beneficial for fingerpicking.
The mahogany neck has a fairly standard 'C' shape, but the 46mm nut width might feel a bit bulky; it's best tried if possible before committing.
The matte finish resists fingerprints better than gloss, making it easier to keep clean, but it can be more susceptible to scuffs and requires careful handling.
