Frequently Asked Questions
It's surprisingly natural for a humbucker-style system, offering a balanced tone with good clarity, but it won't perfectly replicate a mic'd acoustic.
The 45mm nut width and 650mm scale create a slightly narrower feel; it’s comfortable but takes a bit of getting used to if you're used to a wider neck and longer scale.
Regular wiping with a soft cloth and occasional application of a quality lemon oil will keep the finish looking its best and protect the wood.
