Sound & Tone
The solid Sitka spruce top over solid African mahogany back and sides gives this left-handed dreadnought a warm, balanced voice with clear note definition and long sustain, while the scalloped parabolic hybrid bracing and dovetail neck joint keep it responsive to a light touch. Ebony bridge and fingerboard add focus to the attack, so single-note fingerstyle lines stay articulate even as full strums push the dreadnought body into projection. It suits fingerstyle, folk, and singer-songwriter accompaniment, and the 650 mm scale with a 43 mm bone nut gives lefty players room to work in open tunings and picked arrangements alike.
