Frequently Asked Questions
The piezo pickup is adequate for basic amplification, but lacks the dynamic range and natural tone of a condenser microphone – expect a slightly 'honky' sound.
The neck has a fairly standard 'C' shape, but the basswood body adds a bit of thickness, so larger hands might find it slightly less airy than a thinner neck.
The vintage-style tuners are functional, but don't offer the precision of geared tuners; expect to make minor adjustments more frequently.
