Frequently Asked Questions
It holds its own well; the solid spruce top is a notable upgrade compared to laminate-topped instruments, offering better projection and tone.
The neck profile is fairly standard – neither overly thick nor thin – and should be manageable for most hand sizes, but a slightly wider neck might be preferred by some.
The natural silk-matte finish is aesthetically pleasing, but it’s softer than a gloss finish, so it will show handling marks more easily and require careful cleaning.
