A great new design following the success of our previously sold out electro-acoustic bass guitar, beautifully finished with sapele sides, a spruce top, mahogany neck and rosewood fingerboard. Great looking, beautiful materials and sounds great!

Pick-up/Pre-Amp
Just like electro acoustic guitars, you can play this guitar acoustically or plug into an amplifier via the standard jack plug socket and create your own personal sound using the 4-band pre-amp/EQ dials.

The pick-up is cleverly hidden under the bridge saddle and is known as a piezoelectric pick-up (for any newbies out there!). When you pluck a string, the vibrations are transferred through the saddle and received by the pick-up; which is then processed by the pre-amp before sending the signal to the amplifier via the guitar lead. It’s very effective and has the benefit of not picking up any magnetic fields such as mains hum or feedback.

EQ
This particular pre-amp/EQ unit has a volume control, presence, treble, middle and bass - Simple but effective! This also features a 'phase' button which adds to the warmth of the tone when amplified.

The EAC-4PH unit is 'active' which means it requires a 9 volt battery to be operative when connected to an amplifier.

Neck/Headstock & Fingerboard:
Every guitar neck has a two way metal truss rod in its core, which gives it strength as well as the option to use an Allen key to adjust the bow of the neck.

We use mahogany for the neck and rosewood for the fingerboard. Like maple, but more expensive(!), mahogany is known as a ‘tonewood’, or a wood that carries sound waves very well and is also ideal for guitar necks due to its rigidity. Its natural colouring is rich and beautifully dark.

Rosewood is a soft, smooth and naturally oilier wood, making it ideal for contact with fingers. Both woods are selected for their beneficially known properties which make guitar playing as enjoyable and comfortable as possible.

The fret inlays are made from a pearloid material and hand-crafted into the rosewood fingerboard for a clean and simple effect.

Nut:
This new guitar model, to maintain its traditional values, is fitted with a toughened plastic nut.

Body:
As well as an intricate internal bracing structure and ribbing on the top (soundboard) and back, the body of the guitar is bound with a strengthening purfling/binding to add stability to its shape.

This gives the guitar a very clean edge and superb styling, something you won’t see on cheaper made guitars.

We have selected spruce for the top and sapele for the sides, both because of their proven acoustic qualities, hence being widely incorporated in acoustic guitar production.   

Headstock Hardware:
The die-cast machine heads/tuning pegs are built to a very high standard in that they are covered gear mechanisms fixed from both sides of the headstock, which means they hold the string tension and tune very well. The tuning peg consists of two main parts; the main part is screwed from the back so that the tuning pole pokes through; this is then secured with a threaded bolt, washer and nut for a very tight, reliable fixture.
