Frequently Asked Questions
The semi-hollow design adds airiness and resonance, producing a more complex and 'open' sound with enhanced sustain, though it can be slightly less focused than a solid body.
The medium oval profile is generally comfortable, but the shorter scale length might feel a bit snug for those with very large hands; best to try it if possible.
Due to the semi-hollow construction, the balance can be slightly neck-heavy; a strap lock system and potentially a bass strap with some padding will improve comfort when standing.
