Frequently Asked Questions

The V-Class bracing slightly increases the tension, giving a more responsive and lively feel under the fingers, but it's not a drastic change.
Yes, the ES2 is surprisingly good. The EQ controls allow you to dial in a natural acoustic tone that cuts through a mix without sounding overly processed.
