Vintage 'Viator' Paul Brett 12-String Electro-Acoustic Travel Guitar ~ Natural

The Vintage Viator 12-String Electro-Acoustic Travel Guitar has an airy, 3 dimensional acoustic delivery that only 12 string guitars can produce, with a focused, punchy, assertive tonality with high string-to-string definition and size defying volume from its compact parlour sized body.  

Themed on the small bodied parlour guitars from the 1920’s and 30’s, it has a huge output and long-throw and has all the chime, charm and spacious jangle of a 12 string acoustic twice its size. This beautiful electric acoustic 12 string is constructed using sensibly harvested tonewoods of the finest quality, selected for their striking looks and exceptional sustain and warm mellow tones. 

Solid sitka spruce is the tonewood choice for the soundboard, renowned for its broad dynamic range, while a body crafted from sapele produces a strong bass response, midrange and top end definition, heightened by internal custom X scalloped bracing and sustain and harmonic qualities of the Graph Tech NuBone nut and saddle.  

This gorgeous electro-acoustic travel guitar is fitted with a Fishman® Sonitone preamp with volume and tone controls, easy battery access and ¼” jack and USB outputs. 

Eye catching features include maple body bindings and detailed purfling mirrored within the intricate rosette design, open headstock design, open-geared smooth action machine heads and functional pin style bridge design for effortless string changing. 

The Vintage Viator Travel Guitar, visually stunning, sonically brilliant.
