Frequently Asked Questions
The finish itself has minimal impact; any perceived difference is more likely due to wood grain variations within the sunburst application.
The D-28 typically has a 'Modified Low Oval' profile which is generally comfortable, but those with very small hands might prefer to try it in person.
The .012-.053 phosphor bronze strings provide a balanced tone, but lighter gauge strings could offer easier playability at the expense of some volume and projection.
