A Banner Year for Tone This little giant produces a charming and seductive tone that rivals much larger-bodied guitars while maintaining exceptional clarity and focus in individual notes.

Ideal for folk, blues, and finger style, this delicately balanced model maintains a full dynamic range in a compact package.
