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.
