Body Shape
Grand Auditorium with Venetian cutaway
With sides measuring 95 mm at the neck and 115 mm at the endpin, the GA body delivers both comfort and balanced tone—an exceptionally versatile platform for many styles. The cutaway provides easy access to higher positions.
Tonewoods
Solid African Mahogany top & Mahogany body
A solid African Mahogany top provides a top‑solid construction that opens up with playing as the wood naturally ages. African Mahogany back and sides deliver firm mids and a broad expressive range.
Voice & Response
All‑mahogany‑family construction yields quick response, excellent attack, and controlled damping. Using the same species for the top and body keeps overtone bloom in check, so individual notes speak with greater clarity.
Matte Mahogany Neck
Standard U profile
The Standard U profile with a matte finish feels fast and comfortable over long sessions. Well‑seasoned mahogany helps resist neck movement from temperature and humidity changes.
Sculpted Head Design
The three‑dimensional head is not only aesthetic—it increases headcap thickness by design to promote pitch stability and sustain.
Headstock Back
Reinforced plastic tuner buttons improve grip and durability. A head‑back plate helps tame minute pitch drift from vibration, while the volute at the neck joint adds strength and left‑hand leverage for open‑chord work.
Fingerboard
Nut width: 44.5 mm (1.75″) with 37.2 mm between the 1st‑ and 6th‑string nut slots—ideal for both strumming and fingerstyle. Both nut and saddle are natural bone for efficient energy transfer.
Asymmetric Bridge
The dense rosewood bridge is carved asymmetrically to account for different vibration energy between bass and treble strings, improving overall balance.
※ Note: an under‑saddle pickup is referenced in some builds; reflect this in the Electronics spec only if installed.
Matte Dark‑Brown Finish
Improved pore‑filling allows a thinner finish. A transparent dark‑brown stain highlights African Mahogany’s beautiful figure and color.
SoundPillar — Tone Shaping
With the SoundPillar installed, response characteristics shift and the overtone structure is tidied up, clarifying the fundamental. You’ll get a cleaner pickup sound and a flatter overall balance. Prefer richer lows with a touch more damping? Remove the SoundPillar.
Overtone Comparison (6th → 1st strings)
Our test graph shows how overtones vary across the strings depending on whether the SoundPillar is installed.
