Play with
authority.
A carved-top model built for players who don’t hold back. Confident in its voice. Bold in its response. Every detail is shaped to let you commit fully to the music in front of you.
A carved maple top adds upper-midrange presence and definition.
The maple brings clarity and articulation, balancing the warmth of the mahogany with just the right amount of bit.
Weight behind every note—
without the weight on your shoulder.
Authority isn’t
about being louder.
It’s about knowing exactly what you want to say.
the crowd isn’t deciding where the music goes.
They’re witnessing the journey.
