Farida D-8X0P Natural Satin 2013 Natural Satin Acoustic Guitar

Here for sale we have a Farida D-8X0P Acoustic guitar in Natural Satin finish. Made in China in 2013, this guitar features an all-solid construction consisting of a Sitka Spruce top, Mahogany back and sides, Nato neck and 20 fret Sonokelin fingerboard with matching bridge.

The Nato neck sits comfortably in the hand, with a profile that resembles a ‘C’ providing easy fretting in any register and ergonomic thumb positioning up and down the neck. The Satin finish to the rear of the neck provides a comfortable, smooth playing surface, along with the Sonokelin fingerboard offering a pleasant feeling under the fingers, yielding a smooth playing surface. The 16” radius ensures that finger styles of playing are catered for as well as singer/songwriter styles. The Dreadnought body design ensures this instrument is comfortable and practical to play in seated or standing positions without feeling cumbersome, whilst also providing unobstructed access to the higher register. 

This instrument's voice is warm and detailed, with the Mahogany back and sides producing a punchy and responsive midrange. The Spruce top adds to a balanced tone with a wonderful blooming tone, with bell-shaped highs and lows that are low and full. The understated high end of this guitar remains detailed but subtle, adding unique character to this guitar, whilst the X-bracing provides beautiful sustain and a resonance that can really be felt.

Neck: Overall excellent condition, the rear of the neck has been buffed to a gloss through regular use. All other aspects of the neck and fingerboard demonstrate minimal markings.

Body: Overall very good condition, any markings are very difficult to distinguish against the open pore natural finish. Very light scratching and indentation is visible to the rear face, which cannot be felt under the finger.
