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.
