Sporting a sleek transparent black finish, white binding, elegant inlays and a traditional Florentine cutaway, this custom model blends visual elegance with a bold voice. This special build features our versatile Grand Auditorium body style with the slightly shallower depth of our smaller Grand Concert body, resulting in a uniquely accommodating, lap-friendly feel. Paired together, hand-selected back and sides of figured Big Leaf maple and a Sitka spruce top serve up an articulate voice that balances a clear, vibrant midrange with pleasing sonic warmth and a player-reflective character. Under the hood, our V-Class bracing enhances volume and sustain while improving pitch accuracy up and down the fretboard. A patented, ultra-fast Z-Glide Neck with a stylish crosshatched etching pattern ensures a consistent, silky-smooth handfeel. The appointment package includes green abalone/mother-of-pearl Artist fretboard inlays, a green abalone rosette, a mother-of-pearl peghead logo, abalone-dot ebony bridge pins and black/white purfling. Equipped with ES2 electronics and gold tuners, this custom model ships in a lightweight, sturdy brown AeroCase.
