Steel String
The Steel String model is a highly versatile instrument based on the increasingly popular “small jumbo” style. It combines a medium-sized lower bout and deep body with a comfortably-sized upper bout. The result is a deep, penetrating voice with singing trebles, and a large dynamic range. This model was developed to fill the need for a multi-purpose steel string guitar that is user friendly for classical guitarists, but will also delight seasoned steel string players. The guitar is full and vibrant and handles easily. It can be readily transitioned to and from a classical, and performs well in both fingerstyle and rhythm styles. Optimizing neck width and profile, bracing, and materials to suit your hands and playing style will vastly increase your enjoyment of this guitar. Stylish and clean aesthetics are bonuses that make this model a joy to play.
