## Questions & Answers

**Q: What stand works best for this guitar? I bought it as a gift, so pardon my lack of knowledge if this is a dumb question :)**
A: You would probably do best with one you hang the guitar on.

**Q: Does the white turn yellow over time?  Does the black satin get glossy spots from playing?  Trying to decide between the two.**
A: I believe the white is polyurethane and that it does not change color. I haven't noticed the black satin getting glossy.

**Q: What string guage does this come with?**
A: D'Addario XL110 (.010/.013/.017/.026/.036/.046)

**Q: Does it come with a case ?**
A: Yes, it does!
