Frequently Asked Questions
Mahogany is warmer and darker than Koa, lacking the brighter, more sparkling quality of Koa. Expect a more mellow, less vibrant sound.
The open chrome tuners are serviceable, but they're not high-end. Frequent tuning adjustments will likely be needed, especially with string changes.
The Meranti neck has a fairly standard 'C' shape which should be manageable for most hand sizes, though it's not specifically designed for very small hands.
