Grand Auditorium body with Venetian cutaway
Provides the stated body format while leaving access to the upper end of the 20-fret fingerboard.

Independent shopping perspective
Built around a Grand Auditorium body, the MX430 pairs spalted maple across the top, back and sides with a mahogany neck and rosewood fingerboard. Its undersaddle piezo and onboard preamp keep the controls on the instrument: use the 3-band EQ to shape the amplified signal, check tuning with the onboard tuner, and engage the phase switch when needed. The Venetian cutaway reaches the upper 20-fret fingerboard. A Whiskey Burst gloss finish, black-nickel machines, and an abalone rosette give it a detailed stage-ready appearance.
