Frequently Asked Questions
The under-saddle pickup delivers a brighter, more direct signal, but lacks the fullness of a soundhole pickup – it’s fine for basic amplification, but not ideal for nuanced performance.
The Nyatoh neck has a fairly standard 'C' shape; it's generally comfortable, but slightly on the thinner side, which most players with average to larger hands will find agreeable.
No, the tuner is completely isolated and doesn't impact the acoustic sound when the electronics are disengaged. It's a purely electrical function.
