Frequently Asked Questions
Cedar offers a warmer, mellower tone than Koa, which tends to be brighter and more articulate. It's a matter of preference, but the cedar provides a pleasing, balanced sound.
The Macassar fretboard is generally well-finished, but some players might find it slightly less polished than higher-end instruments. A quick lemon oil application can often improve the feel.
While it lacks onboard electronics, the KCI-700's projection and tone make it perfectly acceptable for smaller, acoustic performances. It's a great platform for adding an external pickup if needed.
