- • Fishman Sonicore/Presys II system provides usable amplified tones for basic performance.
- • Dovetail neck joint and smooth C profile offer comfortable playability and stability.
CONS
- • Sonokeling can be a bit brittle; careful handling is needed to avoid damage.
- • The armrest, while a nice touch, might feel bulky or interfere for some players.
- • While decent, the Fishman electronics are entry-level; serious gigging requires upgrades.

Frequently Asked Questions
The solid spruce top gives it more dynamic range and a clearer, more resonant tone than many guitars with laminate tops – it's noticeably brighter and more responsive.
The 'C' profile is fairly standard and versatile; while not a super-thin profile, it's generally comfortable and should suit most hand sizes, but smaller hands might find it a bit thick.
The Sonicore pickup is prone to feedback at higher volumes, so careful EQ adjustments and microphone technique are needed, and a higher-end pickup system would be a worthwhile upgrade for stage use.
