AUDITORIUM CUTAWAY BODY -With dimensions of 117mm(4 5/8 ) body depth upper bout width at 292mm(11 1/2 ) and lower bout width at 405mm(16 ) the Grand Regal’s body size is perfectly in between the large Dreadnought and the more intimate Grand Concert. This makes the Grand Regal ideal for both strumming/flatpicking and fingerstyle playing and suits the versatile acoustic player who prefers to have one guitar to cover a variety of sounds and playing styles. SOLID REDAR CEDAR TOP -Compared to spruce cedar is a bit mellower and warmer. The midrange is slightly accentuated with a sweeter top-end making cedar ideal for players who fingerpick a lot and prefer a slightly rounder and fuller sound. GENUINE BONE NUT & SADDLE -Crafted out of water buffalo bone for the most natural and transparent transfer of string vibrational energy into the body and neck. 45mm (1 ¾”) NUT WIDTH -A slightly wider nut width that makes it easier for fingerstyle playing. AUSTRALIAN BLACKWOOD BACK & SIDES -Australian Blackwood is like a combination of the low-mids of mahogany the brightness of maple and the rich overtones of rosewood. This versatility makes blackwood stand out for both fingerstyle playing or strumming as well as being a perfect match for the Cedar top. Top solid construction is featured on this model. EBONY BRIDGE PINS -To complement the bone saddle the Grand Regal Series features ebony bridge pins for enhanced string vibration and a more natural and lush sound.
