Frequently Asked Questions

Okoume is warmer and more balanced than mahogany, lacking the overt brightness of spruce; it's a good compromise for a versatile tone.
The matte finish helps, but extreme humidity can still cause slight stickiness; a wipe-down with a damp cloth is recommended.
While generally good, fretwork can vary; a quick check and potential leveling by a tech is often advisable on budget instruments.
