Open sounding and punchy acoustic bass
with excellence resonance so you too can be heard clearly in acoustic
jams and gigs. Big sound.
The LR Baggs StagePro Element is a
side-mounted preamp/EQ that offers battery access and a full
chromatic tuner that is hidden beneath the control panel to maintain
a clean, classy look. The three band EQ with phase inversion and
Garrett Null notch filter controls deliver warm, pristine sound even
under the most challenging conditions.
Artist Series is now “The Award
Winning Artist Series” – winning competitions and receiving rave
reviews in the States, Europe and around the world. It’s a truly
designed line of guitars that stands tall and sounds sweet in the
solid top guitar market.
Hand selected solid tops; forward
shifted scalloped bracing, awesome tone and player experience….
The term “solid top” of course
refers to the soundboard of an acoustic guitar being made of solid
wood, rather than being laminated. However, just because the top is
solid, it does not necessarily mean the sound automatically benefits
from this feature. The tone of the instrument only improves
significantly when the whole guitar is built correctly to really
release the energy a solid soundboard can generate. Artist Series is
built to do exactly this.
Each model is designed to get the best
out if its components, and for them to work together to produce a
tone and player experience, rarely found in affordable instruments.
These components include our FST2M bracing system, bi-level bridge,
real bone nut and great quality tone woods.
FSTM is a forward shifted X brace
design. Both the X braces and asymmetric tone bars are scalloped.
Moving the system forward allows for a larger soundboard, which is
optimized with a solid maple bridge plate for both strength and
energy.
The sound is warm, open and powerful,
and both the treble and bass registers are clearly present and
balanced in relation to each other. These guitars feel right and are
exciting to play and responsive. Dig in and they shout right back at
you, treat them gently and they whisper and respond instantly to the
lightest strum or pick.
The solid ‘A’ grade Sitka spruce
and cedar tops are hand selected from quarter-sawn wood. This ensures
consistent quality, and its no secret better guitars are made from
better wood. Our tops not only look great but they are stiff and
strong and finely grained.
New Artist Series guitars look stunning
and come in a huge variety of shapes, colors and wood choices from
standard OM and Dreadnought models to more specialist instruments
such as Baritone and Parlor. Each shape is also available in a
left-handed version.
