Designed to produce an older, more traditional acoustic sound, this model blends warm, old-school tone with modern playability. Crafted with solid mahogany back and sides and a natural torrefied Sitka spruce top for a mature, played-in sound from day one, this gloss-finish Grand Pacific model offers a rich midrange character with a clear, woody response.
