Frequently Asked Questions
The Prefix Plus T system is designed to be transparent when not amplified, so it shouldn't significantly alter the natural acoustic tone.
While the string spacing is relatively narrow, the neck profile is generally comfortable. However, players with very large hands might find it a bit cramped.
Wenge offers a smoother, slightly harder feel than Rosewood and is generally more durable than Ebony, resisting wear and tear well.
