The handsomely crafted guitar features a solid spruce top and nato back and sides and produces a bright, richly textured sound - one that, thanks to the solid spruce top, will gradually mature.

But that’s only half the story, because the instrument’s new one-way pickup system, in combination with a #3-Band EQ (with integrated tuner, provides a perfect amplified sound too.
