Frequently Asked Questions
The spruce top gives it more projection and clarity than a purely mahogany guitar; it's brighter and more versatile.
It's adequate for smaller gigs and practice, but a more powerful preamp might be needed for larger venues.
Ovangkol is a dense and hard wood; it’s very durable and resistant to wear, similar to rosewood but often a bit brighter in tone.
