Frequently Asked Questions
The Agathis core softens the maple's inherent brightness, resulting in a slightly warmer tone with less sustain, though it still retains a good amount of snap.
While protective, the lacquer is relatively thin and will show wear from heavy use; regular polishing is recommended to maintain its appearance.
It's a fantastic all-rounder, but really shines in genres like rock, pop, and funk where you need a balance of articulation and body.
