Noticeably scratchy out of the box for most people
Akko Rosewood
Akko · switch
Most people land on a clean split with Rosewoods — out of the box they read scratchy and a bit mushy, but a quick hand-lube transforms them into something genuinely smooth with a deep, thocky tone. Consensus is they're a budget option that pays off once tuned, and falls flat if left stock.

- +Hand-lubing transforms the feel into proper smooth
