Frequently Asked Questions
The maple gives it a noticeably brighter and more focused sound than Lakewood’s mahogany offerings; it’s less ‘warm’ and more ‘defined’.
The C-profile, measuring 21-23mm thick, should be comfortable for most, but players with very large hands might find it slightly snug.
They’re primarily aesthetic, crafted from precious woods for visual appeal; their tonal impact is negligible.
