HIGHLIGHTS

SOLID MAHOGANY TOP WITH LAMINATE MAHOGANY BACK AND SIDES

A solid Mahogany top delivers rich, warm tones with a natural mid-range focus that brings out the full character of every note, while laminate Mahogany back and sides deepen the harmonic complexity and add a smooth, woody resonance that ties the sound together seamlessly. The result is an intimate, soulful voice that feels just as natural fingerpicking quietly at home as it does commanding attention on a live stage.

12”-RADIUS SATIN MAHOGANY C-SHAPED NECK WITH VINTAGE STYLE FRETS

The classic C-shaped neck with vintage-style frets provides a familiar feel that accommodates various playing styles. Combined with a smooth satin finish that allows for unrestricted hand movement and a 12”-radius that balances effortless chord work and bend-friendly lead playing, this neck delivers the perfect balance of comfort and performance.

SEALED GEAR, SPLIT-SHAFT TUNING KEYS

These tuning keys combine classic vintage styling with modern performance, offering smooth, precise adjustments that keep your guitar locked in tune. The split-shaft design makes string installation effortless while ensuring a secure, reliable hold – so you spend less time changing and more time playing.

FISHMAN® CD-1 ELECTRONICS

The onboard Fishman® CD-1 system is designed to get out of the way and let the guitar speak. Simple, intuitive controls for volume, bass, mid and treble put your tone exactly where you want it, while the integrated on-board tuner keeps you stage-ready at a moment’s notice – all in a sleek, low-profile package that preserves the guitar’s natural acoustic character.
