The P5DC is a seriously well-made dreadnought. The solid wood construction and rosewood back give it a rich, full sound that really shines, and the CT4-DX pickup system makes it stage-ready. This is a great choice for gigging fingerstyle players or anyone wanting a premium acoustic with a comfortable neck profile.

Frequently Asked Questions
The CT4-DX offers a more natural, less 'processed' amplified tone than some of their older systems, with a more responsive EQ for shaping your sound.
The neck is a comfortable 'C' shape; the 42.5mm nut width might be a little wider for very small hands, but most players will find it manageable.
The P5DC's tone is a bit more focused and articulate than some of the warmer, more bass-heavy dreadnoughts; it’s a versatile option, not overly colored.
