Frequently Asked Questions
Mahogany generally produces a warmer, more focused tone with less high-end sparkle than spruce, lending itself well to fingerstyle or mellow strumming.
The neck profile is a standard 'C' shape, but the shorter scale length might feel a bit compact for those with very large hands – try it out if possible.
The TP-4T is a decent pickup, but feedback can be an issue at higher volumes; a feedback suppressor might be beneficial for louder stage environments.
