SWG-150W-CE | Master Series handmade guitar "Songwriter R WIDE NECK"
SWG-150W-CE overview
handmade guitar "Songwriter R WIDE NECK", solid spruce & rosewood, cutaway, Fishman Presys +
THe SWG-150W-CE has a wide neck, this 48 mm wide neck is a special design feature for those with exceptionally big hands, or those that just love to have the extra space on the neck. This wide neck is very comfortable for those who play fingerstyle guitar. Richwood now offers the most popular model with that feature.
The Songwriter Series is developed to have a very focussed, voluminous and inspiring sound to accompany a singer songwriter as well as any other guitar player. In order to achieve this we applied the special lattice bracing. This bracing pattern is responsible for a well-defined tone with more punch than a guitar with a regular X-bracing.
To enhance this difference, we have new cosmetics with wooden bindings and bridge pins. A new rosette with abalone and wood and the absence of a pickguard.
The SWG-150-CE has a solid Sitka spruce top and rosewood sides and back. The rosewood give this guitar a powerful and sonorous sound. The Fishman Presys+ amplification system ensures problem-free onstage performance with a lot of tone-shaping flexibility.
As all Richwood Master Series, the Songwriter Series displays an excellent playability with a very comfortable neck profile.
