Additionally, thanks to V-Class bracing, notes are more in-tune with each other. Bringing you a truly beautiful sound that simply can't be replicated. Plus, in any position up and down the fingerboard, every note is true, full, consistent. And, in complete harmony with one another.

Versatility at your fingertips
