More Low End

Based on a classic mid-size acoustic,
this model has a focused mid-range,
complex low end, and chimey brightness
that creates the perfect balance for
fingerstyle play and arpeggios.
Arguably the most popular acoustic in
the world, a spruce top with mahogany
back and sides provides the recipe for
the perfect mix of deep bass response
and note articulation.
