Frequently Asked Questions

The RMC pickups offer a surprisingly clean and balanced amplified tone, but it’s still a nylon string – don’t expect the aggressive bite of a steel-string acoustic.
The connector is straightforward to use with a compatible Roland GR unit, but fully exploiting the MIDI functionality will require some familiarity with modeling guitar setups.
Richlite is incredibly stable and resistant to temperature and humidity changes, meaning it’s less prone to cracking or warping than natural wood, and generally requires less maintenance.
