Frequently Asked Questions
It's serviceable for basic practice and small gigs; expect a somewhat thin, slightly boxy tone that benefits from EQ adjustments.
The Nyatoh neck is relatively slim and may feel a bit cramped for those accustomed to wider profiles, but it’s generally manageable.
Intonation is acceptable out of the box, but likely requires minor adjustments to be perfectly accurate, especially higher up the neck.
