Frequently Asked Questions
The StreetLegend offers a similar tonal character but may lack some of the overt refinement and nuanced complexity of a higher-end, fully-appointed D-18 due to the simpler bracing pattern and finish.
The aged finish is primarily aesthetic, but the thinner finish layer can contribute to a slightly more open and resonant tone compared to a thicker gloss finish – a subtle difference, but noticeable to experienced players.
Ebony is a very hard and durable wood, but it can still dry out. Regular cleaning and occasional application of a specialized ebony fingerboard oil will help maintain its smooth playing feel and prevent cracking.
