Frequently Asked Questions
It's surprisingly clean and usable, though it's best to avoid extreme EQ settings. It's fine for small to medium-sized gigs.
The modern 'C' profile is generally comfortable, but the 43mm nut width might feel a bit snug for players with very large hands.
The construction is solid; dovetail joint is a nice feature. While the finish isn't flawless, it's significantly better than many guitars at this price point.
