Frequently Asked Questions

Intonation is acceptable for the price, but expect slight inaccuracies towards the higher frets – a common trait for budget instruments.
The finish is a relatively soft lacquer, so yes, it's susceptible to scratches and chips with regular use and care is advised.
Build quality is what you’d expect at this price point – there might be minor imperfections, and fret ends could be slightly sharp, requiring a quick filing for optimal playability.
