Frequently Asked Questions

Roseacer is thermally treated maple, so it’s generally playable, but it's best to lightly sand it for an even smoother feel before stringing up.
A nitrocellulose lacquer would work well, but ensure thorough sanding of the primer if you intend to stain the wood.
The shorter scale length might feel cramped for larger hands, potentially making barre chords more challenging.
