Frequently Asked Questions

Okoume offers a warmer, more mellow tone than Spruce, with slightly less projection. It's a great alternative if you prefer a less bright, more balanced acoustic sound.
The modified oval C profile is generally considered comfortable, but it's not as wide as some vintage necks. Players with very large hands might find it a bit snug, but most will find it quite playable.
The Fishman tuner is generally reliable and accurate, though it's always a good idea to double-check with an external tuner for critical tuning situations. It's certainly a convenient feature for quick adjustments.
