Acoustic Electric Guitar With Torrefied Sitka Spruce Top With a Vintage-Inspired Finish
The GS Mini-e Sunset Boulevard starts with a solid torrefied Sitka spruce top, offering a broken-in tone with added warmth and responsiveness. The torrefaction process carefully removes moisture from the wood, mimicking the effect of years of natural aging for enhanced resonance. The golden-brown Sunset Edgeburst beautifully complements the mature sound of this instrument, adding to its warm vintage appeal. With chocolate-brown hues, the layered Indian rosewood back and sides contrast beautifully with the Sunset Edgeburst top and contribute to a rich, balanced sound. The layered construction also adds to the guitar's overall durability, ensuring this GS Mini-e performs consistently no matter where you take it.
