Frequently Asked Questions
Okoume is generally warmer and less bright than Spruce, offering a more mellow tone, but it still provides good clarity and projection.
The Modified Oval C profile is fairly versatile, but those with very large hands might find it slightly snug, though not overly so.
Build quality is surprisingly good; the dovetail joint and bone nut/saddle indicate a higher level of attention than you'd expect at this price.
