Questions & Answers

FAQ

What type of wood is used for the back and sides of the Sawtooth Maple Series 12-String Jumbo Cutaway Acoustic Electric Guitar?

The back and sides of this guitar are made from flame maple, a very hard type of wood known for its good sustain and tonal qualities.

What is the advantage of the Sitka spruce top on this guitar?

The solid Sitka spruce top offers a broad dynamic range, producing a crisp, immediate articulation. It's versatile in terms of its sound, making it suitable for just about any style of playing.

What features does the Fishman Presys II Preamp/Tuner offer?

The Fishman Presys II Preamp/Tuner features volume, tone shaping, and phase controls. It also includes a pre-wired Fishman Sonicore pickup, a built-in tuner, low battery indicator, and a separate battery box.

What is the benefit of the ovangkol fretboard and bridge?

Ovangkol is a beautiful wood with musical characteristics similar to rosewood, but with a slightly fuller midrange and a top end that's not quite as bright as maple. This contributes to a full, warm sound and accurate intonation.

What makes the maple neck of this guitar special?

The maple neck has a strong low-end response and plenty of projection and clarity in the top end. This contributes to a bright and loud sound, generating a tight, focused tone with little overtone presence.

About Sawtooth Maple

Just as visually stunning as it is sonically captivating, the Sawtooth Maple Series 12-String Jumbo Cutaway Acoustic Electric Guitar is a masterpiece of design and craftsmanship. This high-quality instrument boasts a beautiful natural finish that highlights the flame maple back and sides, creating a stylish look that is sure to turn heads.

The jumbo cutaway body shape of this Sawtooth guitar is meticulously crafted to deliver a balanced sound spectrum, making it ideal for intricate chord work. Its impressive projection and strong low-end bass response, coupled with crystal-clear top-end clarity, render it a versatile choice for both studio recording and live performances.

At the heart of this guitar's rich tonal quality is the solid Sitka spruce top. Known for its broad dynamic range, Sitka spruce offers crisp articulation and is adaptable to a wide array of playing styles. The warmth and purity of its sound, largely free of overtones, make it a professional's choice for capturing the essence of each note.

The flame maple back and sides not only contribute to the guitar's durable construction but also enhance its sonic properties. This very hard wood type is renowned for its good sustain, robust low-end response, and exceptional projection. The quick note decay and excellent note separation ensure that each strum and pluck is articulated with precision, ideal for live settings where clarity is paramount.

Equipped with the Fishman Presys II Preamp/Tuner, this acoustic electric guitar offers musicians complete control over their sound. The preamp system includes intuitive controls for volume, tone shaping, and phase adjustment, along with a pre-wired Fishman Sonicore pickup for impeccable sound amplification. The built-in tuner, low battery indicator, and separate battery box add to the convenience and professional functionality of the instrument.

The ovangkol pinned bridge, paired with a traditional bridge pin design and compensated saddle, ensures full, warm sound and accurate intonation. The ovangkol fretboard with pearl block inlays is not only visually striking but also produces a resonant tone with a slightly fuller midrange compared to rosewood.

Finally, the maple neck of the Sawtooth Maple Series guitar reinforces the instrument's durability and contributes to its bright, loud sound. The combination of maple and ovangkol results in a tight, focused tone with minimal overtone interference, perfect for musicians who demand clarity and precision in their performance.

In summary, the Sawtooth Maple Series 12-String Jumbo Cutaway Acoustic Electric Guitar with Flame Maple Back and Sides is a stylish, durable, and professional-grade instrument that offers high-quality sound and playability. It stands out as a top choice for discerning musicians seeking both visual beauty and exceptional acoustic performance.
