Cherrywood Back and Sides for Warm, Balanced Tone
Cherrywood, known for its warm tonal characteristics, is featured on the back and sides of this 000 model, offering a balanced, resonant sound.

The scalloped X-bracing pattern enhances the top’s resonance and response, ensuring a dynamic, open sound that brings out the best in the guitar’s natural tonewoods. The aging toner adds a vintage aesthetic, further enhancing the timeless beauty of this instrument.
