Frequently Asked Questions

V-Class bracing creates more even harmonic distribution, resulting in increased sustain, volume, and a richer, more complex tone – noticeably more responsive than previous designs.
The Expression 2 system is surprisingly clean and natural, making it quite usable for recording, especially with some EQ adjustments. It captures the guitar's nuances well.
Ebony is porous and can dry out, so regular conditioning with a specialized ebony fingerboard oil is crucial to prevent cracking and maintain playability.
