Fans of the 12-string sound and the overtone-rich voice of Indian rosewood are sure to be enticed by the 454ce, which boasts a gleaming gloss-finish body to complement its shimmering tone. This versatile Grand Auditorium features back and sides of Indian rosewood paired with a Sitka spruce top, delivering warm lows, clear trebles and a blooming overtone character. Inside, our V-Class bracing elevates the response with louder volume and longer sustain while improving pitch accuracy all the way up the neck. This acoustic-electric is appointed for the spotlight, featuring Finial inlays in the genuine ebony fretboard, a faux-tortoiseshell pickguard, crisp white binding and an agoya shell rosette. It includes ES2 electronics for faithful, clear plugged-in sound and ships with a deluxe hardshell case.
