Frequently Asked Questions

The action is generally manageable, but might benefit from a slight adjustment for optimal playability, especially for players accustomed to lower action.
The neck profile is fairly standard, a comfortable 'C' shape, but the wider nut width (1 15/16 in) might feel a little cramped for players with very large hands.
Since it's an acoustic instrument, you'll need a magnetic pickup system installed, or a contact microphone to amplify it; consider a KMC pickup or similar for a natural tone.
