Frequently Asked Questions

Carbon fiber offers a more even, less complex tone than spruce or mahogany, with reduced overtones – it's bright but somewhat 'contained.'
The controls are straightforward, but truly maximizing the app integration might require a little experimentation, although the basic reverb is very accessible.
The die-cast tuners help, but zero frets can be sensitive – regular setup and string changes are crucial for consistent intonation.
