Frequently Asked Questions

The back is demonstrably solid maple with a distinct flame figuring; it’s not a veneer or laminate, which contributes to its tonal properties.
It holds its own against many competitors – the solid spruce top and quality construction give it a richer, more resonant tone than many instruments at a similar level.
While adjustments can be made, it's best to have a qualified luthier perform bridge work to ensure proper placement and string alignment for optimal sound and playability.
