Frequently Asked Questions

The Sonitone is a solid performer, offering a natural amplified tone with good clarity; it’s not in the class of a K&K or LR Baggs, but it's a very capable system for stage or recording.
The 'C' profile is a fairly standard vintage feel, but some players with very large hands might find it a touch narrow; it’s generally comfortable, but a quick test is always recommended.
Yes, the mahogany contributes to a focused, powerful projection with a strong fundamental; it’s not as airy as a guitar with a different back and sides wood, but it delivers plenty of volume.
