This Pursuit Exotic S Concert is a real looker and a surprisingly versatile instrument. The myrtlewood top gives it a chimey, articulate voice that's great for fingerstyle or lighter strumming, while the mahogany back keeps it grounded. It’s a solid choice for intermediate players wanting something a little different without a premium-priced tag.

Frequently Asked Questions
Myrtlewood is generally less projective than spruce but offers a more nuanced and complex tone with a pronounced airy quality.
Yes, the Presys I is straightforward – simple EQ controls for quick adjustments, and the feedback rejection is decent for most stage environments.
Ovangkol is a harder wood, so it can feel a bit drier and might require a bit more hand lotion to maintain comfortable playability, but it's very durable.
