This special-edition Grand Auditorium sports layered sapele back and sides, a solid mahogany top and a rich stain (body and neck) enhanced with a beautiful gloss-finish body treatment. The result is an inviting blend of versatile musical character with stage-ready aesthetics. The hardwood top yields a focused, warm response, providing a touch of compression for a smooth attack that’s especially ideal for recording applications. A narrower nut width of 1-11/16” serves up a comfortable fretting feel, making this a great choice for everything from practice sessions to live performance and studio work. Clean visual details include black binding with a matching pickguard, a three-ring white rosette, 4mm dot fretboard inlays in Italian acrylic, and nickel tuning machines. This model includes an upgraded AeroCase for storage and transportation.
