Frequently Asked Questions

Richlite is denser than rosewood, providing a snappier attack and brighter overall tone, while still maintaining good note definition.
The silver leaf horn neck is a comfortably slim profile, but the shorter scale length might feel a bit cramped for players with very large hands.
Wild cherry is a dense hardwood that contributes to a warm, resonant tone with excellent sustain and a pleasing visual appeal.
