Frequently asked questions

The AR11S/JC-AM is specifically designed for fingerstyle, with a 48mm nut, multiscale frets to keep low tunings tight, and a punchy spruce top that articulates tapping and harmonics. The AR11C/ACE is more general-purpose and better for chord-based playing.
Can the AR11C/ACE be plugged in?
Yes; the AR11C/ACE includes a factory-installed BR-2P pickup system for amplified play. The AR11S/JC-AM has no onboard electronics mentioned and is intended as an acoustic-only instrument.
Which is better for a beginner?
