Frequently Asked Questions
Cedar offers a warmer, more mellow tone than mahogany, with a rounder low-end and slightly less projection, but still very versatile.
It's not a dealbreaker, but some players might notice a slight difference in feel compared to a solid wood fretboard; a little lemon oil can help improve smoothness.
The individual machine heads are a definite upgrade, offering noticeably better tuning stability and finer adjustments than entry-level geared tuners.
