Frequently Asked Questions

The T5 system offers a wider range of tonal options, mimicking electric guitar sounds, but feedback rejection can be slightly less robust than a dedicated acoustic pickup at extremely high volumes.
Urban Ash imparts a more focused, articulate tone with a slightly drier character than rosewood, and a bit more brightness than mahogany; it's unique and offers a different sonic palette.
The longer scale offers increased string tension, which can result in a tighter, more controlled feel, but may require slightly heavier gauge strings to maintain comfortable playability.
