Frequently Asked Questions
Myrtlewood is generally brighter and more focused than spruce, offering a more direct sound with less overt bass. It's less about booming resonance and more about clarity and articulation.
The Concertina shape is more compact, so it might feel a bit snug for players with larger hands or those accustomed to dreadnought size. It's still playable, but consider this if you have larger hands.
The Presys I is a well-regarded system; it provides a natural amplified tone with good feedback resistance, making it suitable for smaller to medium-sized gigs – a reliable, easy-to-use option.
