Baton Rouge X11LS/F-SCC Steel String Folk Guitar
Description
Baton Rouge X11LS/F-SCC Steel String Folk Guitar
The Baton Rouge X11LS/F-SCC sits comfortably in the hands with its 46mm neck width and 630mm scale length—dimensions that give fingerstyle players immediate control and quick access across the fingerboard. This folk guitar's balanced, responsive character cuts through on stage and rewards both fingerpicking and strumming with articulate definition. Traditional tonewoods and purposeful hardware choices yield a warm voice that sustains cleanly whether you're working complex fingerpicking patterns or driving rhythm parts.
Construction & Tonewoods
A solid spruce top paired with mahogany back and sides creates the sonic foundation—this classic pairing delivers the balanced midrange and natural sustain that players rely on for live performance. The mahogany neck ensures stability during gigging while contributing tonal warmth and feel, and ovangkol fingerboard and bridge withstand the rigors of repeated play with a smooth, responsive touch that only improves with age.
Hardware & Setup
Open antique chrome machine heads lock in tuning reliably—essential for keeping your instrument stage-ready between sets—while the guitar arrives strung with D'Addario EXP11 strings known for consistent tone and playability straight out of the box. The Nubone nut and saddle couple strings cleanly to the body, cutting unwanted noise and delivering clarity across the dynamic range so your playing articulation comes through in a room.
