Frequently Asked Questions
The VTS process artificially ages the spruce top, yielding a warmer, more open tone with enhanced responsiveness and a slightly reduced stiffness.
Yes, the Modern Deluxe features a slightly slimmer, more modern 'Modified Low Oval' profile intended for easier playability, a shift from the traditional D-28’s more substantial feel.
Ebony is a dense wood, so occasional conditioning with a specialized ebony oil is recommended to prevent cracking and maintain its luster, but it's generally very durable.
