Features include a solid Engelmann spruce top and solid figured rosewood back and sides with an all-over high-gloss finish. There’s also an ebony fingerboard, bridge, headplate and heelcap and flamed maple binding.
Electronics are a Fishman INK3 preamp system with a chromatic tuner, three-band EQ and volume control, and an under-saddle Sonicore piezo pickup.
