The E20SS is a slope-shoulder dreadnought with a muscular tone and tough appearance. This acoustic guitar is made entirely of solid wood, with rosewood on the back and sides and an Adirondack spruce top that has been thermo-cured. The spruce produces a distinct, clear tone that does not break up with intense strumming. The E20SS's larger body is wonderfully complemented by the deep, warm, reverberant response of the rosewood, which frames the spruce's pure, nuanced tone. Additionally, the E20SS has hand-carved, scalloped "X" bracing that gives each note you play more sustain, volume, and resonance.
