The Fairmount CW is a seriously well-built guitar. That flame maple back and sides give it a crisp, clear voice that cuts through a mix beautifully, and the LR Baggs HIFI preamp makes it stage-ready. It’s a fantastic option for gigging musicians or anyone looking for a premium-priced acoustic with excellent amplified tone and a comfortable feel.
