Hand-scalloped bracing
Contributes to the guitar's nuanced voicing and sensitivity.

Independent shopping perspective
The R30E is a right-handed acoustic-electric built with a solid spruce top, solid Indian rosewood back and sides, a mahogany neck, and ebony at the fingerboard and bridge. Hand-scalloped bracing is part of its sensitive, nuanced voicing, while the LR Baggs Element Active System handles amplified use through a VTC Element undersaddle piezo pickup. Its satin natural finish, black-satin tuners with ebony buttons, wooden purfling, and shell rosette give the instrument a deliberately detailed visual finish.
