SOLID SPRUCE TOP

Spruce is the standard modern tonewood for fashioning the tops of acoustic guitars and other acoustic instruments—few woods can beat its strength, brightness and dynamic range, and it responds well to any acoustic playing style, from hard strumming to fast flatpicking to delicate fingerpicking.

EASY-TO-PLAY NECK

With it's comfortably rolled fingerboard edges, this intrument's neck creates an incredibly comfortable fret-hand feel that's ideal for beginning players or experienced pros alike.

FISHMAN® PREAMP AND TUNER

A Fishman pickup/preamp system adds peerless amplified performance with a variety of onboard controls to your acoustic instrument without compromising its pure, rich and resonant tone. The built-in tuner is conveniently placed right where you can see it, making it easy to keep your intonation right on the money.

CUTAWAY DESIGN

The cutaway on this classic dreadnought offers traditional looks and easy access to the upper frets for high-register play.

GRAPH TECH® NUT AND BRIDGE SADDLE

Graph Tech string nuts and bridge saddles enhance the sustain, clarity and tonal consistency of an acoustic instrument. Neither too soft nor too brittle, they eliminate troublesome string binding while delivering performance, workability and appearance that easily outdoes other plastics, coming remarkably close to real bone.

HARDSHELL CASE INCLUDED

This hardshell case features a useful storage compartment, making gig-to-gig transport a cinch.
