SOLID SITKA SPRUCE TOP WITH LAMINATE MACASSAR EBONY BACK AND SIDES

The dramatic grain patterns of Macassar Ebony create a stunning visual impact, making this guitar equally suited for intimate songwriting sessions and commanding stage performances.
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.
