Laminated sapele body
The laminatedSapeletop, back and sides produce a bright sound with a clear warmth of tone in the mids and basses, while the classic Concert construction produces an exceptionally clean sound. The result is a perfectly balanced sound that clearly articulates every single note, making it perfect for fingerpicking and complex chords. These sound characteristics make the guitar suitable for a wide range of musical styles and make it a popular studio instrument.
High playing comfort
In addition to its compact design, which sits comfortably in the hand, the shortened scale length of 629 mm also makes the guitar extremely comfortable to play. The short scale length creates less string tension, which means that less force is required to grip the instrument. This is an enormous advantage, especially for inexperienced fingers, as chords and tone sequences are much easier to play. Another advantage is the ergonomic C-profile of the Nato neckwhich allows a comfortable hand position at any point. The walnut fingerboard also contributes to the effortless gliding of the fretting hand over all frets thanks to its pleasant feel. Pure playing pleasure is further guaranteed by the nickel-plated die-cast open-gear tuners, which ensure high tuning stability, while the compensated bridge inlay produces a flat string action and thus clean intonation.
