Frequently Asked Questions
Mahogany is warmer and mellower than Koa, lacking Koa's bright, sparkling high-end. It's a matter of preference – Mahogany is great for softer styles.
Aquila strings are generally considered beginner-friendly; they're less stiff than some older nylon strings, but still provide a good feel.
Open-gear tuners are generally reliable, but require slightly more careful tuning initially; they're less precise than geared tuners but offer a vintage vibe.
