Frequently Asked Questions

Ash generally produces a brighter, more articulate tone than mahogany, with a slightly less warm overall character.
Most likely, yes, but budget instruments can sometimes need a minor truss rod adjustment; check the neck relief upon arrival.
The single machine heads are functional, but expect to make slight tuning adjustments more frequently than with higher-end geared tuners.
