Frequently Asked Questions
The wraparound design inherently increases sustain due to its rigid connection to the body, offering a more resonant and sustained note.
It's primarily cosmetic, but the thinner lacquer can theoretically allow for slightly more wood vibration and a touch more resonance, though the effect is subtle.
Consistent humidity control is crucial; invest in a case humidifier and avoid extreme temperature fluctuations to minimize the risk of warping.
