Frequently Asked Questions
Sonokeling offers a richer, more complex tone with more pronounced low-mids compared to the drier sound of mahogany.
The C profile is generally considered comfortable, but the 43mm nut width might feel slightly narrower than some prefer for larger hands.
The build quality is impressive for the price, with a solid dovetail neck joint and quality hardware, although meticulous inspection for minor cosmetic flaws is always advised.
