Frequently Asked Questions

The laminated back will soften the overtones and high-frequency response compared to a solid wood instrument, but it’s still a very usable tone, especially after a good setup.
Absolutely; the workshop adjustment is key. They'll tailor the action and intonation to your playing style, which can make a huge difference in comfort and performance.
While it can be amplified, the Artino strings are not ideal for pickups; upgrading to steel strings and potentially a piezo pickup would enhance its amplified tone considerably.
