Frequently Asked Questions

Maple provides a drier, more focused tone with less sustain compared to rosewood’s warmer, more resonant character. It’s excellent for cutting through a mix.
The neck profile is a comfortable 'G' shape with a slightly rounded feel, generally accommodating a wide range of hand sizes, though a jumbo body might present challenges.
The LR Baggs system is well-suited for 12-strings, offering a clear and balanced amplified tone; however, some tweaking of EQ may be needed to tame the higher frequencies.
