The Walnut 400 Series<br />

Woods: Walnut / Cedar<br />

Models: 412ce-LTD, 414ce-LTD, 416ce-LTD<br />

Unique Features: Figured maple binding and mini wedge, “Pipeline” inlay<br />

Back by popular demand, we reprise last spring’s walnut limiteds, but with a few<br />

twists. This year we’ve opted for cedar tops over spruce for a splash of extra warmth;<br />

a mahogany neck in place of maple; and the “Pipeline” inlay that debuted with the<br />

2010 Fall LTDs. Like last year, these LTDs are sharply appointed with figured maple<br />

binding and a matching back mini wedge.<br />

The Mahogany Series<br />

Woods: All Mahogany<br />

Models: Mahogany GC-LTD, Mahogany GA-LTD, Mahogany GS-LTD, Mahogany DN-LTD<br />

Unique Features: Traditional mahogany stain, tortoise shell binding, diamond<br />

fretboard inlays<br />

Tonally, an all-mahogany acoustic will respond with an earthy sound that has long<br />

been associated with blues and other roots music. Players can expect a dark, throaty<br />

midrange punch when digging in, yet there’s also an underlying sweetness in that<br />

same register that can complement a single-note line. Visually, we’ve created a look<br />

that evokes a throwback Americana style, starting with a traditional mahogany stain,<br />

which gives the guitar a luminous deep-red tint. Tortoise shell binding adds the<br />

perfect touch of color harmony, while white purfling and an abalone rosette supply<br />

crisp counterpoints.
