Hard shell caseFrom groshguitars.com:"The DG-293 is a full-hollow version of our set neck guitar featuring a 3/8" thick Sitka Spruce top and classic f-holes. The full-hollow body and spruce top provide for a very open and slightly rounder tone ... like a "thinline jazz box". Yes, incredible for all things jazz and fusion, but the thickness of the spruce top also provides enough tightness and punch to cover blues and rock with ease. ... Featuring master-grade, tone-tapped woods, old-growth Honduran mahogany, ultra-thin nitro-lacquer finish."Mahogany – "...We use the highest quality, master grade Mahogany available. This premium tone wood has a tight even grain structure. Tonally, it has a smooth and rich attack with warm bass, strong mid’s and a sweet and clear top end. It works great by itself or combined with a top wood like Maple for a complex tone combination. This is also another material that we carefully select for tone and weight."
Sitka Spruce – "...Sitka Spruce is stiff like Maple, but softer and lighter. Commonly used for acoustic guitar tops, it has a softer sound and more complex sustain compared to a Maple top. Used on our full-hollow Set Neck model (the “DG-293”), it brings balance and complexity to the instrument."Certified Brazilian Rosewood – "Highly sought-after for its tone, figure and rarity, Brazilian Rosewood is considered to be a supreme choice for a fingerboard. It was used on many of the prized “Vintage” guitars from the 50’s. Because of its status as an endangered species, Brazilian Rosewood must be obtained from legal sources and be “CITES” certified (The Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora). The CITES certification means that the wood was not poached and has been certified by the Brazilian Government as being legally acquired. We only use CITES-certified, master grade Brazilian Rosewood on our guitars. Each instrument we build with Brazilian Rosewood comes with a passport documenting its legality. Grosh Guitars is one of the few remaining guitar builders that uses fully-certified Brazilian Rosewood.Brazilian Rosewood runs in deep browns, to reddish hues to figures of a greenish character. Tonally, it has more attack and snap than East Indian Rosewood. It runs in a wider harmonic range than East Indian as well. We carefully tap select and tap match our Brazilian Rosewood fingerboards for every instrument we produce.Blend Control"Depending on what position you’re in, the blend control is used to blend in the remaining pickups. When you’re in the neck position, it blends in the bridge. When in the bridge position, it blends in the neck pickup. When in position 2 or 4, it blends in the third pickup. When the blend knob is on 10, it has no effect on the sound. As you roll the knob towards 1, it blends the pickups as described. The blend control provides virtually limitless tonal options."Note: When I polished the guitar and oiled the fretboard (using Music Nomad products recommended by Grosh), I found I was out of my usual SIT 10-46 strings. The strings I put on it are .010, .013, .020, .026, .036, .050. I figured the purchaser will change them to his or her preference.
