Frequently Asked Questions
The acacia top will generally have a brighter, more focused tone with more overtones than mahogany, offering a slightly different flavor.
The piezo is serviceable for basic recording, but a dedicated soundhole microphone or a higher-end pickup system will definitely elevate the amplified sound.
The neck profile is fairly standard – not overly thick or thin – so it should be comfortable for most hand sizes, but those with very large hands might prefer a slightly wider neck.
