Frequently Asked Questions

The rounded C profile is generally comfortable, but it's a bit on the slim side, which some players might find preferable for faster playing.
Yes, the Lyrachord provides a more focused, less complex acoustic tone; it's louder but lacks some of the warmth and sustain of a solid wood body.
