Frequently Asked Questions

The VTC aims for a natural acoustic tone; it’s not designed for heavily processed or effects-laden sounds, but provides a clean, amplified signal.
The neck has a slim taper profile, which is generally comfortable, but some players with very large hands might find it a touch narrow.
Ideally, keep it between 45% and 55% relative humidity to prevent the rosewood from drying out and cracking.
