A-70-VA | Master Series handmade auditorium OOO guitar
A-70-VA overview
handmade auditorium OOO guitar, solid spruce & rosewood, ebony fb, real abalone, vintage aged
Richwood Master Series are all handmade acoustic guitars, made of premium selected tonewoods, professionally set-up before packing.
Our Auditorium model is elegantly shaped, yet the body is deeper and thus delivers a warmer tone that suits not only the fingerstyle player perfectly, but still pleases the flatpicker perfectly. The smaller surface size of the top makes it easier to put into motion, it responds quicker than a bigger surface top which is what makes it such a great guitar for fingerstyle playing.
The sound is impressive and full of detail and dynamics. The better quality of the used tone wood and the extra attention into building the 70-series guitars, result in superior instrument. The rosewood sides and back are responsible for the sonorous and bold low end, the high frequencies are thicker and clearer. The general volume is higher and the details in sound are more audible than with a mahogany guitar.
The technical and aesthetical advanced features include bone fittings, a double action trussrod, voluted headstock joint, cotton capped X-braces, mahogany back braces, high grade Derjung machine heads and USA D'Addario EXP16 coated phosphor bronze strings.
