New scalloped bracing boosts the low end and adds richness to harmonic mid overtones. The flamed maple back and sides of the traditional Western-bodied FG840 Dreadnought provide distinctive, exotic and high-end appearance. The result is a sound that is not only transparent nut allows each individual note in a chord to ring clear. The solid spruce top also gives you reliable, well-balanced projection. Other appointments include a abalone with black and white inlaid double rosette, tortoise pattern pickguard, cream body binding, die-cast chrome tuners and black ABS bridge pins with white dots. Case sold separately.
