Frequently Asked Questions
It's noticeably warmer and less articulate than a solid koa instrument; you'll miss some high-frequency complexity, but it’s still quite pleasant.
The Okoume neck has a fairly standard 'C' shape, so it should be comfortable for most hand sizes, though it's not particularly wide or thin.
It's less durable than traditional fretboard woods, so expect it to show wear over time, but with proper care, it should be perfectly serviceable.
