Frequently Asked Questions
It’s surprisingly full and resonant, leaning towards a warmer tone than some brighter, more metallic resonators. The mahogany construction contributes to that richness.
It’s purely cosmetic; the distressing is applied after the finish, and doesn’t compromise the wood's integrity. It’s a stylistic choice, not a flaw.
The 2-way truss rod makes adjustments quite straightforward, even for players less familiar with truss rod adjustments – a noticeable upgrade over fixed-neck resonators.
