Key Features
- A.I.R.port Technology: Features a unique internal structure that guides sound waves to exit from a precisely positioned sound hole, allowing players to monitor their own playing more clearly.
- Solid Sitka Spruce Top: Provides an enormous frequency range, delivering wave after wave of clear highs, tight mids, and a full-bodied low end that matures over time.
- X-M Bracing Pattern: Utilizes a scalloped X-bracing design to efficiently transmit string vibration through the bridge to the body, resulting in a crispy treble and trimmed, warm mid-range.
