Frequently Asked Questions
System66 is a significant upgrade; it's more transparent and less prone to feedback, and the built-in tuner is a genuinely useful addition.
The Nato neck has a fairly standard 'C' shape, which should suit most hand sizes, though it's not exceptionally wide or thin – it's a good all-rounder.
The spruce/rosewood combination gives it a richer, warmer tone than many guitars with mahogany back and sides, while still maintaining good projection.
