Frequently Asked Questions
The open pore finish allows the wood to vibrate more freely, potentially enhancing resonance and sustain, but it also requires more careful humidity control.
While the nato neck is generally comfortable, the 43.0 mm nut width is wider than average, which might feel bulky for those with smaller hands or a preference for narrower necks.
The Okume back and sides provide a brighter, more focused tone compared to the warmer, more complex sound of rosewood, but it’s still a surprisingly resonant and balanced combination.
