Frequently Asked Questions
The tuner is generally reliable, but always test it before a performance; it's a convenience, not a replacement for a dedicated tuner.
The 43mm nut width provides ample space, and the 15.75” radius fingerboard should feel comfortable for most hand sizes, though it's a slightly more modern feel than vintage-style necks.
Ebony provides a tighter low-end response and a brighter overall tone compared to mahogany, lending a more focused and articulate character to the instrument.
