| This spring, the Tasmanian blackwood GS returns
in the form of two cutaway acoustic/electrics ... an all-blackwood 426ce-LTD
and the spruce/blackwood 416CE-LTD. Premium appointments include an abalone
rosette and mother-of-pearl diamond fretboard inlays, while cream-colored
body and fretboard binding add warm highlights to the deep caramel complexion
of the wood. The models sport satin finish bodies with gloss tops.
Tonally, the blackwood/GS pairing is wonderful,
featuring a balance of warmth and brightness, with clear articulation on
the low end, mahogany-like midrange bloom, and clean treble notes. Impressive
volume and sustain add power and richness for a superb all-around guitar
that's ready-made for inspiration! |
