Frequently Asked Questions
The Lyrachord provides enhanced projection and a slightly warmer, more rounded tone than a traditional flatback, while maintaining a good amount of clarity.
The 43mm nut width is wider than some guitars, but the neck profile is generally considered comfortable – it's a modern 'C' shape, not too thick or thin.
The K-21CT tuner is surprisingly accurate and easy to use, even on stage – it’s a convenient feature for quick tuning adjustments between songs.
