Frequently Asked Questions
Urban ash provides a more focused and articulate tone with a slightly drier character; it lacks the deep warmth of mahogany but offers more clarity than rosewood.
The Expression System 2 is renowned for its natural amplified tone and often requires minimal processing for recording, though EQ adjustments can always enhance the sound further.
The limited run certainly increases desirability, and while collectibility is never guaranteed, it positions this guitar well for potential appreciation, assuming it’s well-maintained.
