Frequently Asked Questions
The tuner is surprisingly accurate and easy to use on stage; the low battery indicator is a welcome addition.
The 'C' shape is a fairly standard profile, generally comfortable, but those with very large hands might find it a touch narrow.
It offers a brighter, more direct sound than a Martin, but lacks the depth of a Taylor. It’s a good middle ground offering a different flavor.
