Frequently Asked Questions
Teak generally produces a warmer, mellower tone than Koa, which is often brighter and more 'splashy'. Think of it as a more grounded, woodsy sound.
The Meranti neck has a fairly standard profile; most players with larger hands will find it comfortable, though the scale length is shorter than a guitar.
The Graph Tech hardware helps, but you'll still need to tune it regularly, especially when new. Proper string stretching and care will maximize tuning stability.
