CONS
- • The 16” fingerboard radius may feel less familiar to players accustomed to flatter profiles.
- • The heavier build and Rosewood construction can make it less comfortable for extended playing sessions.
- • The aging toner finish, while aesthetically pleasing, is a matter of personal preference and may not appeal to all.
