Frequently Asked Questions

Red cedar generally offers a warmer, more immediate tone than spruce, with less need to 'break it in'. It's more forgiving for less experienced players, but lacks the headroom of spruce for aggressive strumming.
The African mahogany neck has a fairly standard C-shape profile, which is generally comfortable. However, the 1.69” nut width might feel a bit snug for those with larger hands or accustomed to wider necks.
Ovangkol is a dense hardwood, so occasional conditioning with a quality lemon oil will help keep the fingerboard smooth and prevent cracking, just like any other hardwood fretboard.
