Frequently Asked Questions
The carbon composite provides a brighter, more focused tone; it lacks the inherent warmth and complexity of wood, but offers enhanced projection and stability.
Yes, the standard 6.3 mm output jack is compatible with most interfaces; however, be prepared for the piezo pickup’s characteristic sound profile and consider EQ adjustments.
The ABS frame is robust and designed for durability; however, it's not as visually appealing as wood and may feel less premium to the touch.
