Frequently Asked Questions
The TBS model features a tobacco brown sunburst finish, a purely aesthetic difference – the core construction and tonal characteristics remain essentially the same as the standard FG830.
The Nato neck has a fairly standard ‘C’ shape, which is generally comfortable. However, it’s not exceptionally wide or thin, so players with very large hands might prefer something with a slightly wider feel.
Rosewood is generally a bit more susceptible to changes in humidity than mahogany. Maintaining a stable environment and occasional humidification is recommended to prevent cracking or movement.
