Frequently Asked Questions

The J40 LH has a warmer, more rounded tone than the D-28, owing to the rosewood back and sides, while the D-28’s all-spruce construction delivers a brighter, more focused sound.
The neck profile is a modified low oval, which is generally comfortable, but the jumbo body size may still present a challenge for those with very small hands.
These strings are designed to provide a balanced tone with enhanced clarity and projection, and they’ve been treated to reduce finger noise and improve longevity.
