Frequently Asked Questions
Basswood is relatively stable, but humidity control is still important for longevity, like with any wood instrument.
Intonation is decent for the price point, but expect slight inaccuracies higher up the neck; a professional setup can improve it.
The smiley face is printed directly onto the finish, so it should be fairly durable, but avoid harsh scrubbing.
