FEATURES

Auditorium Body Style

Smaller than a dreadnought, concert-style bodies are built for clear articulation and optimal projection, no matter the playing style or venue.

Flame Maple Top

Maple gives this guitar a clear, bright tone and the flame maple top—well, that gives you a flash of attitude.

Lacewood Back & Sides

Sounding similar to mahogany, but with bright, snappy overtones, the rich sound and fast dynamic response of lacewood makes it a great tone wood.

Fishman Electronics 

Fishman Electronics assure the sound is true to the instrument’s natural voice. The preamp design has a small footprint, is easy to use and delivers reliable performance.

Modern 3 3 Headstock

The modern 3 3 headstock adds a touch of traditional style to your guitar.

Tortoiseshell Binding

In a particularly elegant touch, the body of this guitar is bound with stunning tortoiseshell binding.
