Frequently Asked Questions
Mahogany generally has a warmer, more mellow tone than Koa, lacking the brighter, more complex overtones of Koa. It's a matter of personal preference.
The okoume neck has a fairly standard 'C' shape, so it should be comfortable for most hand sizes, but it’s not a particularly slim profile.
The build quality is quite good for the price – the fretwork is decent, and the overall construction feels solid. Don't expect premium-level refinement, but it’s certainly a reliable instrument.
