Solid Sitka Spruce top provides an enormous frequency range that offers wave after wave of shimmering highs along with tight mids and a full-bodied low end. Sapele back and sides offer a full-bodied and warm mid-range and a bright tone. The Nyatoh neck provides a rich mid-low end. A Walnut fretboard features a well-balanced tonal character from low to high end. The Walnut bridge transfers string vibration directly to the body, delivering a natural and warm tone. The Ibanez T-bar Undersaddle pickup accurately translates that full sound to whatever amplification system you plug it into. The sound port on the body side allows you to feel and hear the pure acoustic tone of this guitar more clearly and directly.
