Frequently Asked Questions
Is this guitar suitable for children or people of short stature?
The OM-type body is slightly smaller and narrower than a standard Dreadnought, making it more comfortable for smaller people or those who prefer a less bulky instrument, without sacrificing good volume and sound projection.
What does "without preamp" mean?
"No preamp" means it's a purely acoustic guitar. It has no built-in electronics like a tuner or a pickup for connecting to an amplifier. Its sound is projected naturally through the soundboard.
What type of maintenance does a matte finish require?
The matte finish is relatively easy to maintain. Simply wipe it regularly with a soft, dry microfiber cloth to remove fingerprints and dust. Avoid using abrasive polishes designed for glossy finishes.
Is the "compound rosewood" fretboard made of real wood?
Yes, compound rosewood is an engineered material created from rosewood. It is developed to offer the same feel and tonal properties as traditional rosewood, but with greater stability and compliance with international species protection regulations (CITES-free).
