Frequently Asked Questions

A Koa top generally offers a brighter, more complex sound, while the Meranti provides a warmer, rounder tone—it's a different flavor, not necessarily 'better'.
With only 12 frets, it's a bit limiting for advanced fingerstyle, but perfectly adequate for basic chords and simpler melodies.
The satin finish is fairly durable, but avoid excessive humidity or direct sunlight to prevent potential clouding over time.
