Frequently Asked Questions
The Fishman system is quite transparent; it amplifies the natural tone without adding significant coloration, though EQ adjustments can be made.
The modified C-shape is generally considered comfortable, but it's not as slim as some modern profiles; players with very large hands might find it slightly less ideal.
Sapele tends to be brighter and more articulate than mahogany, offering a more complex overtone series and a slightly more focused sound.
