Description
Sound & Tone
The solid spruce top over mahogany back and sides gives this dreadnought a balanced, warm voice with clear projection and natural sustain, so strummed chords stay full without turning muddy and flatpicked lines cut through. The Venetian cutaway and slim mahogany neck open up upper-fret access for fingerstyle passages and lead work, while the TP-4TD preamp's three-band EQ and gain controls let you dial the amplified tone to the room. It suits singer-songwriters, folk, country, and rock rhythm players who need an acoustic that works both unplugged at home and plugged in on stage.

Solid spruce and mahogany construction generates a rich, resonant tone that carries naturally and amplifies cleanly through the onboard electronics system. This is a dependable instrument built for gigging musicians who demand reliable amplified acoustic performance night after night.
