Frequently Asked Questions
The MagusUke offers a surprisingly natural amplified tone, but lacks the complex EQ options of higher-end systems.
It's primarily aesthetic, but the design can provide a slightly different string angle, which some players find helps tuning stability.
Avoid excessive moisture and polish with a soft cloth; a light coat of furniture polish can help protect the wood.
