Frequently Asked Questions
The solid spruce top really sets it apart – it’s brighter and more responsive than laminate-topped guitars, offering a more nuanced tone.
The alder neck is fairly standard in profile, so while it’s not particularly thick, it offers a secure grip and shouldn't pose a problem for most hand sizes.
The natural finish is relatively stable, but a humidifier is always recommended for any wood instrument, especially in fluctuating environments.
