Frequently Asked Questions
The piezo pickup provides a more 'acoustic' sound, lacking the sustain and warmth of magnetic pickups, but it's a good starting point for amplified performance.
The neck profile is fairly standard—not overly thick or thin—but the shorter scale length might feel a bit snug for those with very large hands.
It has a gloss finish that looks nice, but it's a relatively thin coating; expect some minor wear with regular playing.
