Frequently Asked Questions
Sapele tends to be warmer and less bright than Koa; it's a more mellow sound, but still very enjoyable and versatile.
They require a slightly more delicate touch than geared tuners, but with a little practice, they're perfectly manageable even for beginners.
The silk-matte finish is beautiful, but it’s softer than a gloss finish, so it’s best to be mindful of potential scratches and keep it clean.
