Frequently Asked Questions
The TP-E system is decent for basic amplification, but lacks the nuance and clarity of higher-end systems; it's perfectly adequate for practice or small gigs.
The mahogany neck has a fairly standard 'C' shape, and the 51mm nut width might feel a little snug for those with very large hands, but most will find it manageable.
The gloss finish does add a layer of protection, but it can slightly dampen the overtones compared to a more open-pore finish; the difference is subtle, however.
