This compact Grand Concert guitar receives a major upgrade with V-Class bracing, the interior sonic engine that produces greater volume and sustain with improved tonality across the spectrum. Hawaiian koa’s captivating beauty is matched by a tone that blossoms over time, especially in the midrange. Its voice is bright and focused, with warm overtones that slowly emerge, adding sweetness and depth. Premium all-wood appointments, led by the Spring Vine fretboard inlay, celebrate the wood’s natural appeal.
