Choosing yours

Help customers narrow down the right option. Cover differences in size, scale length, wood choice, or tuning. If there's a beginner-friendly model, call it out here. The goal is to remove doubt and make the decision feel easy.

Playing it

Give new players a confident starting point: how to tune, a recommended first technique, or a link to a beginner resource. Even a single paragraph here reduces buyer hesitation and returns.
