Frequently Asked Questions
The System 65 with a piezo pickup offers a more natural acoustic sound than magnetic pickups, but lacks the same aggressive edge. It’s excellent for clean amplified performance, less so for distorted tones.
The 43mm nut width is relatively narrow; players with larger hands might find it slightly cramped, but most will find it perfectly manageable.
The tuner is a convenient addition, but it's best used for quick adjustments; a dedicated clip-on tuner will offer greater accuracy and stability onstage.
