Frequently Asked Questions

The preamp is adequate for small gigs or practice, but don't expect premium studio-quality sound; a dedicated external pickup might be preferable for serious performance.
The 'C' profile is fairly standard and generally comfortable, but the 42.5mm nut width might feel a little snug for those with very large hands.
The build is surprisingly good for the price, showing reasonable attention to detail, though hardware finish and fretwork might require minor adjustments.
