Full Description
View Full DescriptionSitka Spruce Top & Sapele Back and Sides
Sitka Spruce is one of the most popular tone woods used for guitar tops, and is recognisable by its pale colour and understated figuring. The reason for its popularity is because it has a tone that makes it a very good ‘all-rounder’. By combining Sitka Spruce with Sapele back and sides you can achieve a very beautiful sound and own a stunning instrument with aesthetic appeal.
Richlite Fingerboard and Bridge
The use of Richlite is slowly becoming a common material for guitar fingerboards. A recycled resin compound it gives a tone that's nearly identical to Ebony, its fast, smooth but unlike wood doesn't require any treatment or conditioning. The matching bridge provides a matching aesthetic appeal as well as adding to the overall sound.
