Thinner and easier to manage, the EC offers effortless manoeuvrability to players who want to focus on the most important thing: producing amazing sound. The slimmer depth allows you to strum and pick with full freedom, whilst the handy cutaway ensures stress-free access to the higher frets. Your audience will be well and truly mesmerised.
Let every note shine, carried by exceptional volume. It's all possible when you have a Sitka spruce top. Spruce makes for the ultimate soundboard, delivering delicious dynamics with dazzling clarity. Its versatility also lends itself to a range of playing styles, so you'll never be limited. Walnut back and sides then add a touch more brightness as well as a woody midrange. The beauty of walnut is that its sound becomes warmer with age, granting you never-ending sonic potential.
