Frequently Asked Questions
The D28 is brighter and more versatile due to its spruce top; the D17 LH offers a darker, more focused tone with a vintage vibe.
The neck profile is a modified low oval, generally considered comfortable, but larger hands might prefer trying it in person to confirm.
It features a gloss finish, which provides protection and a polished look. While aesthetically pleasing, a gloss finish can slightly dampen the natural resonance compared to a satin finish.
