Frequently Asked Questions
Spruce adds more clarity and sustain than the usual Masonite, giving it a more 'woody' character while still retaining that Dano twang.
Absolutely; they offer smoother tuning and greater stability, eliminating a common complaint about older Dano guitars.
Pau Ferro is a dense, durable wood, similar to rosewood, so it's quite resistant to wear and tear and will age beautifully.
