Frequently Asked Questions

It’s a little brighter than some of the darker, more traditional models, but still retains a good amount of warmth, making it versatile.
The neck has a fairly standard profile, but the 52mm nut width might feel a bit narrower than some prefer with larger hands – best to try before buying if possible.
The satin finish is fairly durable but shows fingerprints more easily than a gloss finish; a soft cloth is all you need for cleaning.
