Frequently Asked Questions
The AEQ-2T preamp has a basic chromatic tuner – just activate it and tune using the onboard display; it's generally accurate enough for quick adjustments.
The Nyatoh neck has a fairly standard 'C' shape; while not overly chunky, it’s a comfortable medium profile that should suit most hand sizes, though larger hands might prefer a slightly wider neck.
The undersaddle pickup is decent for basic amplification, but it can get a bit brittle and noisy with high gain – best suited for lower-gain acoustic or folk styles.
