Frequently Asked Questions
It captures the essence but lacks the absolute clarity and refined high-end of a higher-end StingRay; it’s a bit more raw and aggressive.
The neck is a standard 'C' shape – it's generally comfortable, but those preferring a thinner profile might find it slightly thicker.
Jabon is reasonably stable, but it's more reactive than some hardwoods, so maintaining moderate humidity is recommended to prevent movement.
