Exotic Top & High-end Appointments – What sets it apart

The ultra-thin flamed maple veneer over a solid spruce top, paired with ebony binding and bold maple purfling, gives the instrument an exclusive look and tonal clarity. Upscale details—including gold hardware, Córdoba Flower Petal tuners, rosewood headstock overlay, and sculpted heel—mark its place in the premium segment.

Construction for uncompromised tone and comfort

Engineered for responsive tone and comfortable handling, every aspect of the instrument is optimized for professional use. The deep chambered solid mahogany body enhances resonance and minimizes feedback, while the custom Stage Artist fan bracing supports dynamic projection both unplugged and amplified.

• Top: Solid spruce with flamed maple veneer — projects a bright, rich tone with visual flair
• Back/Sides: Chambered mahogany — fuller unplugged sound and exceptional feedback control on stage

Advanced electronics for stage and studio

Every performance benefits from the Fishman Stage Pickup System, which blends an under-saddle piezo with internal body sensors. This dual-source setup ensures an authentic nylon-string voice, free from the harshness associated with traditional piezo systems. Volume, EQ, and Body Blend controls are easily accessible for precise, venue-ready tone shaping.
