Solid spruce top with solid flame maple back and sides.

This beautifully finished musical masterpiece comes fully loaded with a solid Red Spruce top that is finished with high gloss, ultra-thin and breathable nitrocellulose lacquer not to mention incredibly figured flamed maple back and sides for a jaw dropping appearance. Other appointments include nickel finished Gotoh 700 series open-back tuning machines, Ebony bridge and fretboard with a 25.5 inch scale length and a hardshell case to keep it looking great for years to come.
