Frequently Asked Questions
Spruce offers a more immediate, focused tone with less sustain than maple, delivering a drier, more vintage-like character.
Like all steel wires, they can rust if exposed to excessive moisture, but regular cleaning and proper storage will mitigate that risk.
The satin finish highlights the natural wood grain, which means stick marks will be more visible than on a gloss finish; regular wiping will help maintain its appearance.
