Frequently Asked Questions
The piezo captures the string's vibration directly, offering a more natural acoustic tone but lacking the harmonic complexity and sustain of a magnetic pickup.
It's a modified C-shape designed for a comfortable, modern feel – not a widely standardized profile, but familiar to many players.
The construction is robust; while bolt-on necks generally don’t offer the same sustain as set-necks, this guitar is built to withstand regular use and travel with proper care.
