Frequently Asked Questions
The Magus Pro preamp is adequate for basic amplification, but it lacks the clarity and dynamic range of more expensive systems; expect a more 'piezo' sound.
The neck is a standard 'C' shape, moderately full, which should suit most hand sizes, though those preferring a very slim profile might find it slightly thick.
Savarez 510CJ strings are common and easily replaceable. For a brighter tone, consider D’Addario Pro-Arté or La Bella Dynacore strings.
