Frequently Asked Questions

It's noticeably clearer and more balanced than many budget classical guitars, thanks to the spruce top, but lacks the complexity of more expensive models.
The action is generally manageable, but may require a slight adjustment by a luthier to be perfectly comfortable for absolute beginners with smaller hands.
The high-gloss Ocean Blue finish is beautiful, but it *is* a gloss finish, so it will show fingerprints and minor scratches relatively easily. Careful handling and a good polish will help maintain it.
