Frequently Asked Questions
It's a solid, usable preamp for live performance, but it lacks the nuanced EQ options of higher-end units; expect a slightly more 'natural' but less sculpted amplified tone.
Like all solid wood instruments, it's susceptible to cracking with extreme humidity fluctuations; maintaining a relative humidity between 45-55% is ideal and a case humidifier is a good investment.
The action is generally comfortable, a bit on the lower side, which contributes to ease of playing; adjustments are possible at the bridge and nut, but professional setup is always recommended.
