Frequently Asked Questions
Myrtle offers a more complex and subtly darker tone than mahogany, with a touch more responsiveness than rosewood, providing a unique sonic signature.
The 'C' profile and 58mm neck width at the heel provide a good balance, but some players with very large hands might prefer a slightly thicker neck.
The satin matte finish on the cedro neck allows for a very smooth and fast playing experience, minimizing stickiness and maximizing comfort.
