The cutaway gives you easy access to the very last fret too! The last question you may have is how does it sound not plugged in? Just on the power of its own arched top and back? Answer, it sounds just fine! We handed it to Dave Cleveland (one of our favorite guitarists) to take it for a spin during the load-in time for the Christian Musician Summit conference. This all Koa bodied arched top stage guitar is a winner through and through! In case you haven’t noticed by now, I highly recommend it. The specs list the carrying case as a soft case but that is an understatement. The case is a dense soft case that protects the guitar far better than the average soft case. A stellar bag for going back and forth to worship team rehearsals, mobile church sites and yes, traveling the world.
