The 3D was developed with a total focus on sound. Each specification was selected and refined with the goal to give you a big and booming acoustic. Specifically to deliver a tone that is typically only found in vintage instruments that have had years to cure and be played-in. The 3D gives you that performance from day one. The name “3D” is a nod to the three features that really distinguish this instrument: #1- The torrefaction on the solid spruce top, a process designed to age the top to perform like a vintage acoustic guitar. #2- The addition of a slight arch in the back to help direct and project the instrument’s tone#3- The side-positioned sound port, that acts like a personal monitorThe 3D also has integrated active-electronics, made by Fishman along with a stunning java ebony back and sides to build upon its core design features. We can't wait for you to get your hands on this 3D!
