The striking burgundy finish catches your attention, then the acoustic innovation keeps it. What appears to be missing from the top—the traditional center soundhole actually represents a breakthrough in guitar design. Acoustic guitars have been essentially frozen in time since 1916, following conventional wisdom about soundhole placement. This guitar breaks from that tradition, using side-mounted ports that allow the top to vibrate more freely. The result is an enhanced tone and response that matches the sophisticated visual appeal.
