Frequently Asked Questions
It's a bit more focused and resonant than some of the older, more brittle Dano models, thanks to the spruce top and centre block construction.
The 'C' profile is generally comfortable, but the narrower nut width might feel a little cramped for those with very large hands.
While not as rigid as solid wood, the Masonite back is surprisingly resilient if treated with care; avoid extreme temperature changes and impacts.
