Frequently Asked Questions
The Lyrachord offers a slightly more focused and less complex tone; it’s brighter and projects well but lacks some of the warmth and sustain of a fully wooden back and sides.
The rounded C profile is generally comfortable, but players with very large hands might find it a touch narrow – it’s more geared toward players with smaller to medium-sized hands.
The OP-4BT provides a functional amplified signal, but it lacks the nuanced EQ controls and dynamic range of higher-end acoustic pickups; it’s perfectly adequate for basic performance needs.
