Rathbone R2CRE OM Natural Gloss Electro Acoustic Guitar

Here for sale we have a Rathbone R2CRE Orchestra Model (OM) electro acoustic guitar in Natural Gloss finish. This guitar features a solid Cedar top, Rosewood back and sides, a 20 fret Mahogany neck, a Rosewood fingerboard and bridge, bone nut and saddle, open gear machine heads, along with a Belcat Cadic preamp system with controls for volume, bass, middle, treble, bright, middle freq, notch, phase, and a built in tuner. 

The gloss finish neck plays very well, with a medium ‘C’ shape that is comfortable in the hand, certainly a profile that will be familiar to the vast majority of players. The OM body style offers a happy middle ground between dreadnoughts and parlour guitars, feeling full and dynamically responsive without being overly large and cumbersome.

The tone of the R2CRE is big and bold, with a warm low end, a smooth yet powerful midrange, along with crisp and articulate highs. Overall a really well put together and versatile acoustic guitar, well suited for a vast array of playing style, giving it a real workhorse quality.
