Frequently Asked Questions
Lyrachord is generally brighter and less complex than koa, offering good projection but lacking the warm, mellow qualities of koa. It's also quite durable, resistant to cracking and warping.
The Ovangkol fretboard has a fairly standard C-shape profile, which should be comfortable for most hand sizes, though those with very large hands might find it slightly snug due to the soprano size.
The included gig bag is functional for basic protection and transport, but a padded hard case would be recommended for more serious travel or protection from significant impacts.
