The wood combination is described as balancing clear highs, organic mids, full lows, and warm response.

Independent shopping perspective
Built around a Grand Auditorium body, the AE100 pairs a solid Sitka spruce top with okoume back and sides for a balanced acoustic voice that responds from gentle strumming to a firmer attack. Scalloped X-M bracing and the player-facing A.I.R.port are part of its acoustic design. When a set calls for amplification, the T-bar undersaddle pickup and AEQ-TP2 preamp put a tuner and two-band EQ on the guitar, so basic tuning and tonal adjustments stay close at hand.
