The design difference you see delivers the sound evolution you'll hear. For over a century, acoustic guitars have followed the same basic blueprint established during World War I—until the Modern Series. This guitar rethinks fundamental acoustic design through side-mounted sound ports that allow the top to vibrate freely without interruption. European spruce top, solid mahogany back and sides, and premium appointments combine in an instrument that looks different because it is different.
