Frequently Asked Questions
The tuner is surprisingly accurate and convenient for quick adjustments on stage, though a dedicated pedal tuner is always preferable for critical tuning.
The 'C' profile is generally comfortable, but the 43mm nut width might feel a bit narrower than some prefer if you have very large hands.
The solid top makes a noticeable difference, providing a more dynamic and resonant sound with greater clarity and complexity compared to laminate-top guitars at a similar price point.
