Frequently Asked Questions
The Lyrachord provides a more focused and controlled tone, reducing some of the overtones common in 12-strings, while offering a lighter feel.
It’s decent for basic recording, but a higher-end pickup might be preferred for critical applications; the OP-4BT preamp helps add some warmth and fullness.
The rounded C profile is generally considered comfortable and versatile, and the 47.6 mm nut width provides ample space for players with larger hands, though it's not as wide as some vintage models.
