The Aged-to-Vintage (ATV) process, which artificially ages the solid Sitka spruce top through torrefaction (heat treatment), delivers the warm, open sound of a decades-old, well-played guitar right out oft he box. 

The combination of Sitka spruce and mahogany gives the guitar an open, natural tone with emphasized midrange presence. A rosewood fingerboard and bridge ensure excellent sustain and playing comfort. 

The discreetly installed Fishman Presys VT system faithfully transmits the guitar’s acoustic sound with full dynamic range to amplifiers and PA systems. 

Vintage-style details such as the herringbone rosette and top purfling add a touch of classic elegance, complemented by open-gear vintage tuners and a semi-gloss finish. 

The Essence Series is available in two body shapes - Grand Auditorium Cutaway (GA) and Orchestra Cutaway (OC) - and in various color options.
