Frequently Asked Questions

The Koa provides a warmer, more mature tone than Sitka, lacking the Sitka's initial brightness and projection, but offering a richer midrange and sweeter overtones.
The selected hardwood neck has a comfortable, moderate profile, but the 1.75 in nut width might feel a little snug for players with very large hands.
The MX-T is known for its natural acoustic reproduction and excellent feedback rejection, but lacks the EQ and effects options found in some higher-end systems.
