Frequently Asked Questions
The flatter profile reduces some of the body resonance, leading to a slightly more focused and direct tone, though the solid top still provides ample projection.
The pickup is surprisingly clean and quiet, making it quite usable for recording, though a dedicated mic would always provide the highest fidelity.
Acacia is a perfectly functional fingerboard wood, but it’s not as smooth or durable as Rosewood or Ebony, so expect to potentially add oil periodically to maintain playability.
