Frequently Asked Questions
The Presys II offers a notably cleaner and more natural amplified tone than many cheaper options, and the built-in tuner is reliable and easy to use.
Purpleheart is quite durable, but it can be sensitive to certain cleaning chemicals; a simple wipe with a soft cloth after playing is best.
The neck profile is a comfortable 'C' shape, slightly thinner than a vintage 'C', making it accessible for a wide range of playing styles.
