Frequently Asked Questions
The D-28 is known for its balance, while the J40 emphasizes low-end response and volume; expect a more 'boomy' and powerful tone from the J40.
The 1.75” nut width provides a slightly wider feel, which some with smaller hands might find a bit less comfortable, but manageable with practice.
Medium gauge strings like the included MA550T are ideal to fully utilize the J40’s projection and sustain, but lighter gauges can be used for easier playability.
