Boasting Dark Tobacco burst tops and matte-finish bodies, these special-edition Grand Pacific and Grand Auditorium models blend bold throwback visual character with clear, balanced tone and plenty of projection. Traditionalists might favor the non-cutaway round- shoulder dreadnought shape of the Grand Pacific 117e, which sports a teardrop-style burst. Solid torrefied spruce tops contribute a resonant warmth reminiscent of older, played-in acoustics. With onboard ES2 electronics and comfortable 1-11/16-inch nut width, these 100 Series models offer an inviting playing experience for developing players while delivering the tonal depth and dynamic response worthy of seasoned strummers, flatpickers and fingerstyle players alike.
