Baton Rouge X11LS/F-W-SCR Wide Neck Steel String Guitar
The X11LS/F-W-SCR delivers a noticeably spacious neck profile at 48mm width, engineered for players who demand fretting comfort and precise finger spacing on stage and in the studio. The mahogany body paired with a spruce top produces warm, balanced resonance with natural projection that cuts through live mix, while the open pore crimson satin finish reveals the wood grain and gives the instrument a refined, understated aesthetic that photographs well under stage lighting.
Build & Materials
Constructed with a spruce top, mahogany back and sides, and mahogany neck, this steel string delivers solid tonal clarity and the structural stability needed for road use and varied venue conditions. The ovangkol fingerboard and bridge provide durability and smooth playability night after night, while Nubone nut and saddle components ensure reliable intonation and consistent string transmission across your set. ABS bindings add structural reinforcement and visual definition to the body edges, protecting against the wear of regular gigging.
Playability & Hardware
The 630mm scale length and wide 48mm nut width create generous spacing between strings for fingerstyle passages and complex voicings, reducing the likelihood of accidental muting during performance. Open antique chrome tuners deliver smooth, stable tuning mechanics that hold up under the temperature and humidity swings of touring, while the factory-installed D'Addario EXP11 strings provide a solid foundation for immediate playability and reliable sustain right out of the box.
