Frequently Asked Questions

Expect a steeper learning curve – intonation is entirely dependent on your finger placement. It's incredibly expressive, but requires precision and practice.
It's surprisingly decent, especially after EQ adjustments; a little compression and EQ can make it sound quite usable in a mix, though a higher-end system would naturally offer more refinement.
The neck profile is a comfortable 'C' shape; the 45mm nut width gives ample string spacing, so it should be quite manageable even for players with larger hands.
