Frequently Asked Questions
The laminated back and sides soften the overtones and sustain compared to a fully solid model, but the spruce top still provides a respectable level of clarity and projection.
The 43mm nut width is fairly standard, but the shorter scale length might feel a bit cramped for those with very large hands, but most will find it perfectly manageable.
While the D'Addario XT PB Light strings are a good starting point, experimenting with phosphor bronze strings might add a bit more warmth and volume.
