Frequently Asked Questions
The Okoume neck has a comfortable 'C' shape, similar to what you'd find on many Fender or Yamaha guitars, though perhaps slightly less sculpted.
The cream-colored binding is primarily cosmetic, but it does add a small degree of reinforcement to the top edge and is nicely executed for the price point.
The 48mm nut width is a bit wider than some guitars, but manageable, especially if you're used to playing electric or classical instruments. It offers good string spacing for fingerstyle playing.
