Frequently Asked Questions

Ebony is denser than mahogany, resulting in a brighter, more focused tone with enhanced clarity and sustain, though it can lack some of the warmth of mahogany.
The mahogany neck has a fairly standard 'C' shape profile, which should be comfortable for most hand sizes, but those preferring a flatter profile may find it slightly less ideal.
Ebony is relatively hard, but it can be susceptible to cracking if exposed to extreme temperature or humidity changes; avoid leaving it in direct sunlight or very cold environments.
