Solid Mahogany Top

The GACE Mahogany sports a beautiful solid Mahogany top and laminated Mahogany Back and sides. The solid Mahogany top provides a real shimmer to the acoustics sound while the laminate Mahogany back and sides help to balance out the tone. The solid Mahogany top will also evolve over time to produce a more pronounced mid-tone. The dark Mahogany grain adds a real maturity to the look of the guitar allowing the player to imprint their own personality on the guitar and not the other way around. The GACE Mahogany features a curved cutaway for better access to the higher frets for those looking for more lead-oriented playing and the jack also doubles as the rear strap holder.

Elegant Ebony fingerboard

The GACE Mahogany has a very elegant C profile neck, made from a beautifully matched Mahogany. The GACE Mahogany's neck is like silk, hugely playable and sports an Ebony fingerboard with vintage style compact frets. The inlays are Mother of Pearl and are smaller than normal for a more modern look, there are also top dots for easy navigation. The nut is made from bone for the most authentic sound and lasting quality.

Fishman Presys 101 Electronics

The GACE Mahogany is fitted with Fishman Pre-sys 101 Pre Amp. Fishman is the world leader in pickup technology and at this price point, it is a steal to have a Fishman powered electro-acoustic. The Pre-sys 101 has a volume, 3 Band EQ (Bass, middle & treble) and a phase button. The phase allows you to have greater control over the open nature of the pickup helping to reduce or cut out any live feedback. The Pre-sys has a built-in tuner with an LED indicator that cuts out sound when in use so not to subject your audience to re-tuning.

This guitar is the perfect step up for beginner or great for an electric guitarist looking for an acoustic with a fully accessible fretboard.
