This lovingly contoured Builder's Edition model builds on the long heritage of our 800 Series with an experience that matches exceptional playability with a singular acoustic voice. Honduran rosewood—a denser, harder variant of the species typically used for the back and sides of our flagship model—yields a beautifully balanced response with a harmonically complex overtone profile, while the sinker redwood top delivers cedar-like warmth and remarkable soft-touch sensitivity. Inside, our V-Class bracing architecture dials up more volume, longer sustain and improved tunefulness all the way up the neck. Comfort-enhancing touches include a beveled mahogany armrest that provides a smooth surface for your strumming arm and a beveled cutaway that beautifully accommodates your fretting hand as you access the guitar's highest register. Chamfered body edges and a smooth Curve Wing bridge complete the seamless experience, making for an intimate feel that softens the boundary between player and guitar. Other details include Gotoh 510 tuning machines with an ultra-precise 18:1 gear ratio, Element fretboard inlays in shell and mother-of-pearl, and a gloss finish with a shaded edgeburst treatment.
