The new and improved St. Augustine has the looks and quality that you would expect with a Dean. The new bracing and construction sounds more open and rich than ever before. A Solid Spruce top and Sapele back and sides balances out the attack of the strings with true acoustic resonance. The Rosewood fingerboard and bridge bring the warmth while the added Fishman Presys preamp adds the extra blend of tonal options which you would expect from guitars at much higher prices.
