Frequently Asked Questions
It's a step above many entry-level models thanks to the Nubone nut and saddles, which improve sustain and intonation, and the quality of the spruce top.
The Nato neck has a fairly standard C-shape profile, which will feel familiar, but the narrower nut width (48 mm) might feel a bit cramped for those with very large hands.
The construction is quite solid for the price point; it’s built to withstand the rigors of student use, though the finish is delicate and prone to scratches.
