Frequently Asked Questions
The high-gloss black finish looks stunning but requires a bit of care – regular wiping with a microfiber cloth is a must to avoid fingerprints.
The mahogany neck has a fairly standard C-shape profile; some players with very large hands might find it a touch narrow, but it's generally quite comfortable.
Compared to budget-level competitors, the R221SNBK offers a noticeably more refined tone and improved projection thanks to the spruce top.
