Sound & Tone
The solid spruce top gives this dreadnought clear, projecting fundamentals, while the three-piece back of rosewood with a quilt maple center adds a mix of rosewood warmth and depth alongside maple's tighter focus, landing on a contemporary voice with both clarity and body. The split-saddle rosewood bridge keeps chords and single notes intonated cleanly, so open strumming stays in tune with itself and melodic lines ring true. With a slim mahogany neck, 12"-radius rosewood fingerboard and a 1.6875" nut width, it handles flatpicked rhythm work and fingerstyle passages equally well, suiting folk, country, and singer-songwriter playing.

The split-saddle rosewood bridge design ensures superior intonation across both chords and single-note passages.
