Detail 01
SRT preamp/pickup system
Uses the guitar’s natural tone as the basis for its processing when amplified.

Independent shopping perspective
The AC3M pairs a concert-size cutaway body with a solid Sitka spruce top, solid mahogany back and sides, and an ebony fingerboard and bridge. Its SRT preamp/pickup system uses an individual element for each string and bases its processing on the guitar’s natural tone. That gives players an amplified option for studio or stage use while retaining the instrument’s acoustic character. The right-handed, six-string model has a Vintage Natural gloss finish, and a hard bag is included.
