Frequently Asked Questions
Cherry delivers a tighter, more focused low-end than mahogany, with a slightly sweeter midrange. It's less overtly 'woody' but provides excellent clarity.
Lakewood's Euphoria is known for its smoothness and responsiveness; it's a proprietary blend offering a silky feel and enhanced note articulation.
The Anthem system is specifically designed to mimic the acoustic tone, and it handles a wide range of amps surprisingly well, providing a balanced and articulate amplified signal with minimal feedback.
