Our verdict

A rosewood dreadnought for players who want deep bass, clear trebles and an easy satin neck. No electronics are listed, so plugging into a PA means adding a mic or an aftermarket system.

Overview

A singer-songwriter gets a full dreadnought with a spruce top over East Indian rosewood back and sides, voiced by scalloped Sitka spruce bracing. The satin neck uses a Modified Low Oval profile and a thinner fingerboard, and the guitar ships in a hardshell case.

Rosewood back and sides under a spruce top give strong bass and rich overtones, and the refreshed neck profile with a thinner fingerboard aims at easier playing. The listing names no electronics, no nut width and no weight, so check those details with the seller before buying for stage work.

Who it's for

Players who accompany vocals and want projection and low end from an unplugged guitar get the most from it. Left-handed players and those who need onboard electronics for live sound should look at another model.

Pros and cons

Pros

  • Ebony fingerboard and bridge
  • Bone bridge pins
  • Hardshell case in the box
Cons
  • No onboard electronics for plugging in
  • Nut width not listed
  • Right-handed version only

Performance notes

Tone comes from the spruce top driving air while the rosewood back and sides reflect it, and the scalloped bracing lets the top move more freely for bass and sustain. The fixed ebony bridge with bone pins carries string energy into the top. Playability depends on the neck profile, the taper and the thinner fingerboard, plus the factory setup.
