Frequently Asked Questions
Basswood offers a warmer, more even tone with less inherent brightness and projection than spruce or mahogany, which can be a plus for certain styles.
The 'C' profile is fairly standard, but some players with larger hands might find it slightly snug; it's best to try it if possible.
The strings are standard size and easy to replace; lighter gauges (.010-.047) are good for fingerstyle, while heavier (.013-.056) will provide more volume for strumming.
