Frequently Asked Questions
The System 65 is surprisingly good, but it won't match the nuance of a high-end system – expect a slightly more 'piezo' character, but still very usable.
The 'tone wood' neck is a comfortable, medium-thin profile, but the 43mm nut width can feel substantial. It's best to try it in person if possible.
Rosewood can dry out, so occasional oiling with a dedicated fretboard conditioner is recommended to prevent cracking and maintain playability.
