Capitalizing on the opportunity to showcase new materials and sounds, this Grand Auditorium 414ce LTD features black limba back and sides with a Sitka spruce top, an unusual combination that yields a warm, balanced tone with a strong attack. V-Class bracing adds power and sustain, projecting a dry, fundamental-strong response reminiscent of mahogany. This NAMM-exclusive model includes a three-piece back configuration, black binding, Small Diamond fretboard inlays in Italian acrylic, and a gloss-finish body with a shaded edgeburst back, sides and neck.
