Frequently Asked Questions

It's noticeably better than many entry-level guitars; the spruce top provides a more articulate tone than many that use laminated woods.
The 46mm nut width is fairly standard, but it might feel a little wider than some modern guitars; it’s a comfortable C-shape, but those with very small hands might prefer a thinner profile.
The D'Addario strings are decent, but many players will want to upgrade for even better tone and feel; changing them is straightforward with the open-gear tuners.
