Frequently Asked Questions

The SR1596 boasts solid wood construction across the entire body, unlike the 2000 series which has laminated back and sides, resulting in a noticeably richer and more complex tone.
Shellac is more delicate than modern finishes; it's susceptible to humidity changes and requires occasional re-sealing to maintain its luster, but proper care minimizes issues.
The SR1596 leans toward a warmer, more mellow tone due to the spruce top and maple back, though it still possesses good projection and clarity.
