Our goal is to create an instant bond between you and your guitar through meticulous design in bracing, voicing and overall construction. Every component&mdash;from our bi-level bridge to our solid bridge plates and neck blocks&mdash;is carefully considered to deliver the best response possible from solid-top construction.&nbsp;<br />&nbsp;<br />Artist Series guitars are responsive with impressive projection and balance that make them both rewarding and inspiring to play.&nbsp;<br />&nbsp;<br />With a huge selection of body shapes and wood configurations, Artist Series has a guitar for everyone. For a more focused, woody tone, choose a Mahogany top. For a broader, more open projection, choose Sitka. For a warm response to a lighter, melodic touch, choose Cedar.&nbsp;</p> <h3 class="size18 keyfeature_title">KEY FEATURES</h3> <ul class="key_guitarfeatures"> <li><strong>Top Wood: </strong><em>Solid A+ Sitka Spruce</em></li> <li><strong>Back and Sides Wood: </strong><em>Rosewood</em></li> <li><strong>Top Color: </strong><em>Natural/Gloss</em></li> <li><strong>Back &amp; Sides Color: </strong><em>Natural/Gloss</em></li> <li><strong>Headstock Facia: </strong><em>East Indian Rosewood</em></li> <li><strong>Bridge Pins: </strong><em>PPS Synthetic Bone</em></li> <li><strong>Shape :</strong><em>OM</em></li> <li><strong>Neck: </strong><em>African Mahogany</em></li> <li><strong>Pick Up/EQ: </strong><em>LR Baggs StagePro Bronze</em></li> <li><strong>Bracing: </strong><em>FS6</em></li> <li><strong>Bridge: </strong><em>Bi-Level Indian Rosewood</em></li> <li><strong>Inlays: </strong><em>MOP &amp; Arylic</em></li> <li><strong>Fingerboard: </strong><em>East Indian Rosewood</em></li> <li><strong>Nut and Saddle: </strong><em>Bone</em></li> <li><strong>Tuner: </strong><em>Chrome Closed Gears</em></li> <li><strong>Bridge Pins: </strong><em>PPS Synthetic Bone</em></li> <li><strong>Strings: </strong><em>D'Addario XTAPB1263</em></li> <li><strong>Neck Meets Body: </strong><em>14th</em></li> <li><strong>Number of Frets: </strong><em>21</em></li> </ul> <h3 class="size18 keyfeature_title">DIMENSIONS</h3> <ul class="key_guitarfeatures"> <li><strong>Overall Length (mm): </strong><em>1015</em></li> <li><strong>Body Width (mm): </strong><em>390</em></li> <li><strong>Body Depth at Heel (mm): </strong><em>96</em></li> <li><strong>Body Depth at Base (mm): </strong><em>108</em></li> <li><strong>Scale (mm): </strong><em>630</em></li> <li><strong>Scale (inches): </strong><em>24 13/16</em></li> <li><strong>Nut Width (mm): </strong><em>44,45</em></li> <li><strong>Nut Width (inches): </strong><em>1 3/4</em></li> </ul>
