Frequently Asked Questions
Roseacer is a composite, so it's less susceptible to humidity changes than real rosewood, but proper storage is still recommended.
Expect some intonation issues, particularly higher up the neck; it's common at this budget level and may require adjustment.
It leans towards a warmer tone due to the basswood construction; don't expect a bright, Hawaiian sound.
