Teton STS160ZICENT Dreadnought Solid Sitka Spruce Top Ziricote 6-String Acoustic-Electric Guitar

The dreadnought body shape has been the most popular shape for decades now for a number of reasons. Mainly, it has a nice balance between low, mid, and high frequencies. The dreadnought shape brings the midrange up, the sound does not get muddy, and will be very articulate even when a player picks aggressively.

Features:

• Nut/Saddle: Bone.
  
• Soundhole Rosette: Abalone 3 Ring.
  
• Preamp: Fishman PRESYS+.

TOP WOOD 

Sitka Spruce is the most well-rounded tonewood and is used on more guitar tops than any other wood. This is due to the tonal qualities and sonic projection of spruce. It has a nice even tone and does not accentuate any frequency above another in an overpowering way. Spruce also has a strong attack and does not get muddy at high volumes. This makes it a very versatile wood and makes those players with soft touches sound great and people playing with other instruments cut through the mix. 

BODY SHAPE

The dreadnought body shape has been the most popular shape for decades now for a number of reasons. First, it has a nice balance between low, mid, and high frequencies. Where some body shapes scoop the mid-range, a dreadnought will bring the midrange up. This is important when playing with a group of instruments. The midrange of a guitar will stand out. Because of the tonal balance of a dreadnought, the sound does not get muddy and will be very articulate even when a player is a more aggressive picker. 

ELECTRONICS
