812e
This non-cutaway take on our 800 Series Grand Concert offers an alternative playing experience for those seeking the traditional full-body aesthetic. Made with all-solid Indian rosewood back and sides and a Sitka spruce top, the 812e boasts a harmonically textured, overtone-rich sound with a warm low-end response and clear, chime-like trebles. The compact body shape provides tonal definition that will please fingerstyle players, while the V-Class bracing inside dials up more volume and sustain. With a rosewood radius-style armrest for an even smoother feel, this model sports Element inlays in mother-of-pearl, along with a smoky ebony fretboard and weathered rosewood pickguard, and ships in a deluxe hardshell case.
