Frequently Asked Questions
Thermal treatment loosens the wood's structure, leading to increased responsiveness, projection, and a slightly more mature, aged tone.
The maple reinforcement significantly increases the neck's stability, minimizing the risk of warping and ensuring consistent playability over time.
The oil and wax finish requires occasional cleaning and conditioning to maintain its luster and prevent drying, but it contributes to the guitar's resonant character.
