Frequently Asked Questions

The Lyrachord's flexibility contributes to a more resonant and projecting sound, reducing the 'boxed-in' feel sometimes found in roundback guitars, while still retaining a unique sonic character.
The rounded C profile is generally comfortable, but some players with very large hands might prefer a slightly wider neck. It's a good middle ground for most players, though.
The OP-4BT tuner is surprisingly accurate and straightforward to use—a quick press of a button tunes the guitar. It’s a very handy feature for quick adjustments both in the studio and on stage.
