Description Product Description The top of this guitar is solid Sitka spruce and the sides and back are solid East Indian rosewood. This is a tried and true tonewood pairing for acoustic guitars that provides balanced projection and nuanced subtlety. What's under the hood of this iconic guitar is just as important as what you can see. Under the top, the solid Sitka spruce braces are arranged in a standard scalloped "X" pattern. This allows the top to vibrate more freely without compromising strength. This is no doubt where some of this guitar's woody "snap" in the highs and lows comes from. At 24.9", the scale length on this acoustic is a touch shorter than standard. It lets the strings bend a little easier and makes for a hassle-free ride with your playing hand. The hand-fit dovetail neck joint is crucial to this guitar's sound and stability as well. This acoustic is perfect for anyone on the hunt for a lifelong musical companion.
