Frequently Asked Questions

It's laminated Hawaiian koa, meaning it’s a veneer over a core. While it captures some of the aesthetic appeal, it won't deliver the same tonal complexity as solid koa.
Intonation is generally acceptable, but may require slight adjustments at the saddle to ensure accurate tuning up the neck, especially higher on the fretboard.
The included tuners are functional but basic; expect to tune more frequently than with higher-end models, especially initially.
