Exotic Tonewoods Create a Kaleidoscope of Tone

The figured koa top, back and sides give this guitar a striking natural finish and tone as unique as the wood itself. Koa is prized for acoustic instruments because of its complex overtones that shift as you play. Expect shimmering highs, throaty mids and a bass that lingers. A mahogany neck provides stability and warmth, while an ebony fingerboard feels slick under your fingers.

The built-in tuner is highly accurate, ensuring your EF508KC NEX is intonated perfectly at all times.
