Frequently Asked Questions

The Tigerstripe ebony fingerboard is exceptionally smooth, but requires a more deliberate touch than a fretted neck to maintain accurate intonation. Expect a slightly different playing experience.
Absolutely. The Presys Plus offers useful EQ controls to tailor the sound for different venues, and the Sonicore pickups are known for their clarity and minimal feedback.
The walnut back and sides temper the top's resonance a bit, creating a slightly more focused and controlled acoustic voice—it's not as boomy as an all-spruce instrument, but it's incredibly articulate.
