Frequently Asked Questions
Kuku is a softer wood, which can lead to a slightly less defined feel and potentially more fret buzz compared to ebony or rosewood.
The open-pore finish is quite thin, so it’s susceptible to scratches and chipping. Careful handling is recommended.
While the tonewoods are standard, the geared tuners give it an edge over many competitors offering friction pegs at the same level.
