Premium Tonewoods Craft a Rich, Resonant Sound

The all-solid wood construction of the left-handed 000C12-16E, featuring mahogany back and sides with a Sitka spruce top, produces a warm and resonant sound. The mahogany’s lightness prevents excessive boominess, highlighting midrange clarity, while the spruce top adds a bright, airy quality to the highs. These tonewoods work together to provide a dynamic range that allows for expressive, nuanced playing. The guitar's balanced X-bracing further enhances its resonance and sustain, making it a versatile choice for any performance setting.

Effortless Playability with Ergonomic Design

The slim mahogany neck and low-profile ebony fingerboard of the 000C12-16E feel fast and familiar under your fingers, making it easy to navigate complex passages. The satin finish on the neck prevents sticking, while the smooth ebony fingerboard allows for seamless slides and quick position changes. With its 12-fret design, frets are closer together, reducing finger stretch and improving comfort. The cutaway body design offers full access to higher frets, ideal for intricate melodies and solos. This guitar’s ergonomic features are designed to remove technical obstacles, allowing you to focus on your artistry.
