Description

“With scalloped V-Class bracing, cedar sounds warmer than spruce. It offers ideal touch sensitivity for
fingerstyle players and strummers who want a warm sound. You’ll hear surprising body and fullness
behind lightly played notes.”
— Andy Powers, Chief Guitar Designer

Cedar + Scalloped V-Class: A Richer, More Expressive Voice
Long favored for classical guitars, cedar tops deliver a warmer, sweeter response with appealing touch
sensitivity and rich harmonic detail. Paired with Indian rosewood, cedar produces lush overtones and
blooming complexity. Matched with mahogany, it emphasizes clarity, warmth and fundamental focus.
