Frequently Asked Questions
Myrthe offers a warmer, more mellow tone than Sitka, with slightly less projection; it’s a more nuanced sound, not necessarily quieter, just different.
The neck profile is a comfortable 'C' shape, but the 23.5” scale might feel a little snug for those with very large hands – a try-before-you-buy is always recommended.
The EAS VTC is surprisingly versatile, providing a clean and natural amplified tone for both fingerstyle and moderate strumming, though heavier strumming might benefit from a preamp boost.
