“AA” grade Blackwood back and sides — with a Blackwood and rock maple pinstripe zipper down the centre — meet a solid Blackwood neck to produce a rich, well-balanced tone with a warm, grounded midrange. A Bunya face brings the dynamic response and headroom to match, and a Desert Acacia fingerboard and bridge complete a timber selection drawn almost entirely from this country.

In the dreadnought body it has real power and depth, and the cutaway keeps the upper frets within reach. Herringbone binding and a UV gloss face — a finer coat for a finer tone — set it off, with gold Grover Rotomatics and a bone nut and saddle. The AP5 PRO pickup system carries it to the stage, and it ships in a Standard Maton Hard Case.

A uniquely Australian guitar that sits comfortably alongside the best the world has to offer.
