We think you’ll like the guitar because it has a really low action and it’s not at all tiring to play. The back and sides are sapele which tends to be similar in many ways to mahogany in sound and also in appearance except that it has long, wide golden stripes running through it. The top is moderately wide-grained, presumably Sitka spruce, although it has not begun to orange and there is a possibility (we suppose) that it could be Engelmann.
