Frequently Asked Questions
The Aura VT attempts to model the natural acoustic response, offering a more nuanced and detailed amplified tone than simpler systems; however, it requires some tweaking to dial in the perfect sound.
The neck is a standard Martin profile, which some with smaller hands might find slightly thick; a professional setup could potentially alleviate this, but it's worth trying before committing.
Abalone is relatively brittle; while Martin's inlays are well-executed, they require careful handling and are susceptible to chipping if subjected to impact or rough wear.
