Frequently Asked Questions
The Ibanez's under-saddle pickup is decent, but lacks the nuance of a soundhole pickup; expect a brighter, more direct tone suitable for practice, not critical recording.
The Okoume neck has a fairly standard 'C' shape; while 46mm nut width is wider, most players will find it manageable, though those with very large hands might prefer a slightly wider neck.
No, the Ibanez preamp is powered by a standard 9V battery, making it convenient for gigging or practice without needing an amp connection.
