Frequently Asked Questions

Maple generally provides a more focused and controlled sound than rosewood, with less low-end warmth and a more pronounced midrange – think clarity and articulation.
While visually striking, the Color Shift finish requires a bit more care to avoid scratching and fingerprints; a quality polish and careful handling will keep it looking pristine.
The ES2 represents a significant improvement, offering a more natural and dynamic amplified sound with reduced feedback potential compared to previous iterations.
