Frequently Asked Questions
Cedar generally produces a warmer, more immediate tone than spruce, with less emphasis on bright overtones. It’s more responsive to lighter playing styles.
Yes, the Shadow BR-2.1P is a respectable system; it’s known for its natural amplified tone and decent feedback resistance, making it usable for smaller to mid-sized gigs.
Ovangkol is a dense, durable wood, but it can be slightly drier than rosewood initially. Consistent conditioning with lemon oil will help maintain its feel and prevent cracking.
