Frequently Asked Questions
The longer scale stretches the strings, resulting in tighter low-end and increased note definition, but it demands more finger reach and can feel less familiar for some.
Panga panga is a stable wood, but it's less common than rosewood or ebony, so proper humidity control is still recommended to prevent any potential issues.
It's a well-designed system offering a versatile 3-band EQ with a useful mid-frequency bypass, providing tonal shaping without excessive complexity.
