Frequently Asked Questions
Blackwood offers a unique blend of warmth and clarity, often described as more articulate than mahogany while retaining a richer low-end than rosewood. It's a very responsive wood.
Lakewood necks generally have a comfortable, slightly rounded profile. The 44mm nut width provides ample string spacing, which is well-suited for players with larger hands and fingerstyle techniques.
The Anthem system is renowned for its natural reproduction, combining a piezo element with a microphone to capture the guitar's full dynamic range. It provides a very balanced and articulate amplified sound, suitable for stage or studio.
