Frequently Asked Questions
It's a functional pickup – expect a clean, slightly compressed tone; it won’t have the richness of higher-end systems, but it’s perfectly adequate for smaller gigs or practice.
Okoume is generally quite stable, but as with any solid wood instrument, humidity control is important to prevent movement and potential issues. It’s less prone than some Koa varieties, though.
The tuner is primarily designed for standard GCEA tuning, but it generally provides a chromatic tuning mode for experimentation with alternate tunings.
