FeaturesThinner Bridge Plate
CG Series guitars feature a bracing pattern that delivers excellent response and rich resonance and a bridge plate that efficiently transfers string vibration to the guitar top.
Top Material
Spruce: Clear, massive tone that improves as the wood matures, with great variation according to touch.
3-Ply Laminate Necks
The 3-ply, laminate neck design resists warping and twisting and improves neck strength, offers greater stability against shape changes over time and allows lower string height.
The matte finish on the back of the neck is applied with a think coat and allows the left hand to move smoothly, while also providing a secure grip. The finish is also applied to the bridge for improved resonance.
Saddle Fit
Years of experience and original technologies have brought improvements to our saddle and saddle slot design. Crafting these components with great precision provides a highly accurate fit that improves attack and sustain while reducing string vibration loss, transferring rich resonance to the body.
