A gloss ebony Sitka spruce top gives this dreadnought a sleek, stage-ready look, while satin-finished mahogany back, sides and neck add warmth to every note.

The included hardshell case protects your investment wherever you go, making this model a strong choice for players who need a reliable acoustic-electric that stands out both visually and sonically. Ebony Sitka Spruce Top Enhances Projection The gloss ebony Sitka spruce top is engineered for strong volume and tonal clarity. Spruce responds quickly to picking dynamics, producing a crisp, detailed sound that carries well in both solo and band settings. The ebony finish not only looks sharp on stage, it also protects the top from scratches. This combination gives the guitar a bold voice and a distinctive appearance that commands attention in any performance space. Mahogany Back and Sides Shape Warm, Balanced Tone Mahogany back and sides create a foundation for rich, focused lows and smooth mids. The satin finish feels comfortable in hand and allows the wood to breathe, contributing to a more open sound. This tonewood pairing makes the instrument easy to record or mic, with strong response to both fingerstyle and full strums. The belly-up rosewood bridge and bone nut add sustain and keep intonation stable during extended play. LR Baggs Element Bronze Pickup System Supports Live Performance The built-in LR Baggs Element Bronze under-saddle pickup captures the natural voice of the guitar with clarity and depth. The onboard controls make it easy to adjust volume and tone for different rooms or recording setups. Grover Rotomatic tuners hold pitch steady, and the tortoise teardrop pickguard protects the top while adding a classic look. Plugged in, the system delivers a consistent, reliable signal every time. Durable Materials and Protective Hardshell Case The utile neck, nickel hardware and carefully selected woods support years of regular use. Bone nut and saddle resist wear and help maintain tuning. The hardshell case included with this model shields the instrument from impact, humidity and temperature swings, making travel safe and setup quick. Each detail serves to extend the life of the guitar and preserve its tone. With its short scale, comfortable neck and stable tuning, it suits players who value quick response and smooth action. The combination of woods, finish and hardware lets you focus on your music, knowing the instrument will keep up in any setting.
