The compact body offers an intimate feel and clear delineation between sound, making it a great option for fingerstyle players. The V-Class's internal bracing improves response by increasing volume and sustain, while the chamfered edges, beveled cutaways and armrests remove all obstacles to a comfortable playing experience. Finally, the Silent Satin finish helps to reduce noise from the player's movement. Features Grand Concert A smaller-bodied guitar ideally suited for fingerstyle. Honduran Rosewood Extremely dense compared to other rosewood species, Honduran rosewood sings with a uniquely smooth voice that makes it worthy of our finest guitars. Sinker Redwood Tight grain structure and cross-grain stiffness produce a bold and brilliant response with warm overtones. Think cedar on steroids. Expression System® 2 The Expression System® 2 captures more of a guitar’s dynamic properties using a breakthrough behind-the-saddle design. Beveled Cutaway Our beveled cutaway design provides a more player-friendly feel for guitarists who utilize every inch of the fretboard. It features a compound design with a smoothened edge along the corner of the body between the end of the cutaway and the neck heel, providing a more comfortable feel for the fretting hand. V-Class Bracing Our patented V-Class bracing is a revolutionary new pattern — a new sonic engine — that marks a major shift away from traditional steel-string bracing patterns.
