It has a balanced tone, warm sound and comfortable size. This guitar features a Solid Spruce top with mahogany back and sides in a NEX C/A (cutaway) body shape, a rosewood fingerboard with Abalone dot inlays, an Abalone inlay Rosette and Gold tuners. http://www.guitarprogress.co.uk _________________________ http://www.guitarprogress.co.uk

Personally i prefer with being a strummer the more booomier sound of my Yamahas Spruce top with Rosewood back / sides ..The Cedar top gives the more-so a mellower sound better for a picker i believe.. But all to their own where tone comes into it..as we all know there's so much out there which is different.. Also depending on which music you wanna learn to play of course.. Meantime as a sais a while back its an interesting post where tone-woods are concerned $\:\)$ Edited by TartanStevie (09/05/11 03:37 PM) _________________________

I have tusque saddle and pins, and i read somnewhere else that they are better if you plug in a guitar as it gives a more even density _________________________ Casino Hire
