Frequently Asked Questions
It won't match a Martin's complexity, but the CLP-15ME captures a similar warmth and balanced response, offering remarkable value for the cost.
The modified oval C profile is generally comfortable, but it's on the slimmer side; players with very large hands might find it a bit snug.
The Fishman system is generally clean, but like any amplified acoustic, it's susceptible to noise in environments with significant electrical interference.
