Whether you're strumming with vigour or practicing intricate fingerpicking techniques, the spruce top will ensure crisp articulation is woven tightly into your playing.
Teaming perfectly with the spruce top is a tonewood that has plenty of power and warmth. Mahogany. Showcased on the back and sides, mahogany encompasses punchy sonic attributes that team well with its gorgeous tonal resonance brought by emphasis of midrange frequencies. It grows tighter and more focused as it matures, meaning your guitar will only get more beautiful with age. And it looks truly stunning too. This guitar displays the natural grain of mahogany as well as its deep, warm colour. Because sometimes simplicity is best.
