Frequently Asked Questions

The spruce top provides a brighter, more focused tone than a maple top, which generally yields a darker, warmer sound. It’s a matter of preference, but spruce is a common choice for its projection.
Absolutely. The ebony fittings are standard and easily swapped out for higher-quality alternatives as your skill level increases.
The Schönbach line represents a good middle ground – better than some of the absolute budget options, but not in the premium-priced category. Expect decent construction and a reasonable level of finish.
