Frequently Asked Questions
It’s a standard grade spruce, common for instruments in this category, but well-seasoned and contributes to a decent sound.
The 45mm nut width is a bit wider than some, which can be an advantage for developing finger independence, but may require adjustment for some.
The craftsmanship is generally good for the price – expect consistent fret placement and decent bracing, but don't anticipate the meticulous detail of a premium-priced model.
