Here for sale we have a Ferndale GA3-CE Grand Auditorium Electro-Acoustic guitar in Gloss Natural finish. Made in China, this guitar features an all-solid construction comprising Mahogany top, Mahogany back and sides, Mahogany neck and 20 fret Rosewood fingerboard. This instrument is equipped with Chrome sealed tuning machines and Belcat CADIC-1 system.

The Mahogany neck plays very well, with a slim profile that feels very comfortable in the hand, thick enough to inspire confidence and feel dependable without being cumbersome. The Rosewood fingerboard feels pleasant to the touch, and with the 16" radius feeling as flat and consistent as ever, fretting is a breezy and sumptuous affair in any register. The Grand Auditorium body design feels great in both seated and standing positions, and provides unobstructed access to the higher register. 

The voice of this guitar is warm and detailed, with the Mahogany back and sides producing a punchy and responsive midrange. The Mahogany top provides a balanced, seasoned tone with plenty of low end power and warm detail. The Belcat CADIC-1 system captures the natural voice of the instrument perfectly, whilst keeping things simple offering hassle free tone adjustments.
