Frequently Asked Questions
European spruce tends to be a bit more refined and responsive, offering a slightly more complex overtone series than Sitka, but both are excellent choices.
Lakewood's Euphoria fingerboard is known for its exceptionally smooth feel and enhanced playability, often surpassing standard ebony in terms of comfort and ease of movement.
The Anthem system is remarkably versatile, handling both fingerstyle and flatpicking with great clarity and naturalness, though it might benefit from EQ adjustments depending on the specific playing style.
