Frequently Asked Questions
The tuner is integrated into the MagusPro preamp, and it’s straightforward – just engage the tuner function and pluck the string; the display shows the note and indicates if it’s sharp or flat.
The neck has a fairly standard classical guitar profile, which is generally comfortable, but players with very large hands might find the 48mm nut width a little snug compared to some modern guitars.
The MagusPro handles fingerstyle beautifully with a natural tone, but for flamenco, you may need to adjust EQ settings to compensate for the mahogany’s slightly darker character.
