- • Solid spruce top delivers exceptional projection and tonal complexity.
- • Rosewood back/sides provide rich overtones and sustain.
- • Ebony headstock and fingerboard ensure smooth action and note clarity.
- • The premium price point places it out of reach for many players.
- • The 1.75" nut width might feel narrow for players accustomed to wider necks.
- • Black acrylic pickguard feels slightly out of character for a guitar of this caliber.
