Frequently Asked Questions
C-Class bracing allows for a more even tension distribution across the strings, making a 12-string feel surprisingly manageable compared to older designs.
The ES2 system is known for its natural acoustic reproduction; it captures the guitar's inherent tone very well, making it excellent for recording.
Cerlicam is a high-tech ebony substitute offering similar tonal qualities and durability, often with a more consistent grain structure.
