Frequently Asked Questions
The construction is surprisingly good, with a dovetail joint, but don't expect the meticulous attention to detail of a premium-priced instrument; finish inconsistencies are possible.
It’s functional for very basic amplification, but the sound is somewhat thin and lacks character; it’s best considered a convenience rather than a high-quality sound solution.
The Modern C is a comfortable, versatile shape, falling between a slim '60s profile and a fuller '70s profile – a good middle ground for most players.
