Frequently Asked Questions
The AEQ-2T tuner is functional for quick adjustments, but it's not as precise or stable as a dedicated external tuner – use it for minor tweaks.
No, Meranti tends to be warmer and mellower than spruce. It lacks the pronounced highs, making it suitable for strumming and fingerstyle but less ideal for bright, cutting leads.
It's generally similar to Ibanez’s standard neck profiles – comfortable and relatively slim, which is a plus for players familiar with their electric guitars.
