Frequently Asked Questions
The Agathis provides a warmer, slightly less complex tone than typical koa; it's more focused and less 'sparkly' but still enjoyable.
The Okoum neck has a standard 'C' shape profile, which is generally comfortable for most hand sizes, though it’s not particularly wide.
The construction is solid for the price; expect some minor cosmetic imperfections, but the instrument is playable and well-assembled.
