Frequently Asked Questions
Is the crack near the soundhole stable?
Yes. It’s a shallow surface indentation that doesn’t affect structural integrity or tone.
Will the dents impact playability?
No. All frets, neck alignment, and hardware function well. The distractions are purely cosmetic.
Can I add electronics?
Yes—there’s ample interior space to install a pickup or soundhole transducer without major modifications.
What strings work best?
Nylon-string classical sets (high or medium tension) will bring out the cedar’s warmth and mahogany’s clarity.
