Master Grade Solid European Spruce Top
With bell-like clarity over a broad sonic spectrum, the Master Grade solid European spruce top’s transparent character is ideal for both sensitive fingerstyle playing and relaxed strumming techniques. The richness of ethereal overtones is the defining essence of this premium sought-after wood featured on this model.
“AAA” Grade Solid Pau Ferro Back and Sides
Pau Ferro, also known as Morado, Santos Rosewood or Bolivian Rosewood, boasts many of the qualities that are highly regarded in tonewood that is close to Indian Rosewood. It is stable, abrasion resistant, stiff, attractive, exotic and has good impression strength parallel to the grain. The reddish Padauk wood binding adds premium quality to the style.
Special Rosette Design
The “Roselyn” inlay in the center is crafted in meticulous detail, and with the addition of vine and flower inlays that branch out into the dark ebony, the guitar almost looks like an artwork from the 19th century.
OM Cutaway Body
The OM’s compact size is ideal for players with a small body frame or seeking playing comfort. The bright and stronger high-midrange emphasis is more suited for fingerpicking than strumming which often requires more low-end. The Florentine cutaway on this model allows easy access to the high frets.
Off-set Sound Hole and Side Sound Port
Instead of a conventional sound hole in the center of the body, an off-set sound hole is cut out in a seed shape to go along with the body outline. There is a second sound hole, a Sound Port, on the side which affects the Helmholtz properties of the body and enhances the dynamics and the treble of the acoustic tone. It also allows the player to better monitor the natural sound of the guitar during performance.
L.R. Baggs® Anthem
The L.R. Baggs® Anthem pickup/preamp system delivers the pure acoustic vibrations of the instrument to the amplifier and PA without any coloration. Unneeded feedback can also be easily and effectively controlled through minimalistic controls that do not interfere with the look of the instrument.
5pcs Mahogany & Walnut Neck
The 5-piece neck not only provides strength and stability but a strong and focused sound in conjunction with the body’s acoustic resonance.
Ebony Fingerboard
There are many types of woods that are used for fingerboard but no other compares to the jet-black beauty and slick smoothness of Ebony.
Hand-Rolled Body & Fret Edge Treatment
The sharp edges on the body, fretboard and frets are all hand-rolled to make them round, smooth and ultra- comfortable to touch and play. This process is highly complex and time-consuming and requires the skilled workmanship of experienced craftsmen.
Slim Neck Heel Design
The low-profile slim neck heel design is great for playing on the higher frets that gets less in the way of your playing hand while maintaining a solid tone transfer between neck and body of the guitar.
Gotoh® 510Z Gold Tuner
Featuring an extremely precise 21:1 tuning ratio, these tuners feel solid and ultra-smooth at the same time. The elegant and streamlined knobs also reduce fatigue during the tuning process. You will feel the quality of these tuners the moment you start tuning the guitar.
Graph Tech® TUSQ Nut
Preferred by many guitar makers and players for rich tone and sustain, the TUSQ® is an advanced polymer that’s formed under high heat and pressure for uniform density. It’s designed to transfer string energy more efficiently, and to make guitars come alive with enhanced harmonics, volume and sustain.
