Frequently Asked Questions
The KoAloha generally has a richer, more complex tone, but the Bumblebee holds its own with a brighter, more focused sound, especially when strummed.
The Meranti neck has a fairly standard 'C' shape, which is generally comfortable, but it's a bit on the thinner side; those with very large hands might find it slightly cramped.
Yes, the open-pore finish is more susceptible to scratches than a fully sealed finish, so a light coat of wax or oil can help protect it.
