Frequently Asked Questions

Sinker redwood tends to be denser and more aged, resulting in a darker, more mature tone with richer overtones and a slightly more broken-in feel.
The armrest genuinely reduces fatigue, especially for players who rest their forearm on the body. It provides a more ergonomic and comfortable playing experience during longer practice or performance sessions.
The ES2 is a substantial upgrade, offering a more natural and nuanced amplified tone with improved feedback resistance and greater dynamic range compared to previous iterations.
