Frequently Asked Questions
The laminated koa offers a warmer, less complex tone than solid koa; it’s still pleasing, but lacks the nuanced overtones of solid wood.
The Okoume neck has a relatively standard 'C' shape profile, which is generally comfortable for a wide range of hand sizes, but a more detailed spec isn't provided.
The machine heads are functional and adequate for general use; however, for gigging or very precise tuning, an upgrade to higher-quality tuners would be beneficial.
