What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Forward-shifted scalloped X-bracing
The bracing is specified to support the top's response to playing dynamics.
Detail 03
MP-2 preamp
It provides volume and contour controls plus an integrated chromatic tuner.
Detail 04
Nut and saddle
The specification lists a PPS nut and a compensated genuine-bone saddle; the supplied description's reference to a genuine-bone nut conflicts with that nut specification.
