Frequently Asked Questions
Laminated sapele provides a more consistent tone across the guitar, generally warmer and less complex than a solid top, but still offers good projection and sustain.
The inCin shape is designed to be a comfortable, modern C-shape – it’s generally accommodating for a wide range of hand sizes, though those preferring a very chunky neck may find it slightly slim.
The tuner is surprisingly accurate and convenient for quick tuning adjustments on stage or when traveling, but it's not a substitute for a dedicated pedal tuner for critical recording sessions.
