Frequently Asked Questions
The Solidflex pickup is surprisingly good for a budget-friendly system, offering a natural tone with the EQ adjustments; it's not going to rival high-end amplified instruments, but it’s very usable.
The 48mm nut width is standard, but the 650mm scale length might feel a bit stretched for players with smaller hands or shorter arms. Trying before buying is always recommended.
The open pore finish is susceptible to absorbing oils and moisture, so regular wiping with a soft cloth is important; avoid excessive humidity and extreme temperatures to maintain its appearance.
