Frequently Asked Questions

It's warmer and less focused than maple or birch shells—lacking that tight, modern attack—but still has a respectable low-end presence.
The foil finish is more delicate than a standard lacquer finish; careful handling and cleaning are recommended to prevent scratches.
The legs are robust and designed for gigging, but extremely aggressive playing might benefit from upgraded hardware for maximum stability.
