Frequently Asked Questions
The Lyrachord offers a more direct, focused sound with less overtones; it's less 'woody' but provides excellent projection and comfort.
Yes, the OP-4BT tuner is surprisingly accurate and easy to use; it’s a handy feature for quick tuning adjustments between songs.
The rounded C profile is fairly standard and comfortable, but the 42.8mm nut width might feel slightly narrower for players with very large hands compared to some wider-neck models.
