Overview:

Boasting top-tier tonewoods, comfort-focused features, and a constellation of Hawaiian koa and shell details, this custom gloss-finished cutaway Grand Auditorium combines a complex voice with exquisite aesthetics. Together, back and sides of hand-selected Indian rosewood and a Lutz spruce top offer a wide dynamic range with deep, resonant lows and clear, sparkling trebles with bell-like clarity. Thanks to tone-enhancing V-Class bracing, players can expect extra volume, longer sustain and improved intonation up and down the neck. The back features a four-piece configuration with a Simons wedge in figured Hawaiian koa. A beveled armrest of figured Hawaiian koa offers a smooth strumming experience, while figured koa binding and koa fretboard and peghead purfling elevate the guitar’s visual appeal. Ascension inlays in mother of pearl and pink abalone are complemented by a mother-of-pearl peghead logo and rosette and paua edge trim. Outfitted with ES2 electronics and premium Gotoh 510 antique gold tuners with koa buttons, this custom build ships with a brown deluxe hardshell case.
