The rosewood fingerboard adds to the warmth and sustain, while also offering a smooth playing surface for fast runs and expressive bends. Subtle dot inlays guide your hands without distracting from the guitar’s classic aesthetic.

The natural gloss finish enhances the natural beauty of the tonewoods, while the wooden soundhole inlay adds an extra touch of elegance. The chrome tuners with black buttons not only complement the guitar’s design but also ensure precise, reliable tuning stability.
