Frequently Asked Questions
The solid rosewood back and sides provide a significantly richer, more complex tone with more sustain and overtones compared to laminate models; it's a warmer, more mature sound.
While aesthetically pleasing, open-gear tuners can be slightly less precise than sealed tuners; regular tuning checks are recommended, especially when new.
The neck profile is a standard 'C' shape, which is generally comfortable, but the ebony fingerboard can feel a bit thinner than some mahogany necks, potentially favoring smaller hands.
