Tonewoods & Construction

The solid Sitka Spruce top provides a broad tonal range with shimmering highs, tight mids, and a full low end. Rosewood back and sides complement the spruce top with a balanced, focused midrange and full acoustic response.

The African Mahogany neck contributes a rich mid-to-low tonal character, while the Rosewood fingerboard offers a balanced response with a focused midrange. The Rosewood bridge is designed to transfer string vibration efficiently into the body for a natural, warm acoustic tone.
