Sound Pure's Take
Condition: Used, Very Good
A tremendous piece of modern luthiery for the modern fingerstylist, from practice to performance. The playability and sound alike will draw you in closer and closer to the heart of your playing...it's astounding how rich and nuanced the mid and lower registers are thanks to that wonderful Redwood top. The bass register alone is usually only found in Super Jumbo models! It has that wonderful cedar-like quality where light right hand work brings out a suprising amount of volume and full, complex tone. A sound that will draw you in, but, thanks to the excellent L.R. Baggs pickup in there, this Focus SE is ready for the stage, too.
From Other (Miscellanous Used/Vintage/Consign)
East Indian Rosewood is the choice wood used for the back and sides of this captivating guitar. The top has been made with hand selected Redwood. The soft sound of this guitar is incredibly appealing to fingerstyle players. Both warm and balanced in look and voice, the Focus Special Edition has been made with both the studio and stage in mind. Featuring the L.R. Baggs Element Active System electronics with a volume and tone control, you will be able to achieve quick and easy amplification in any playing situation. The graceful lines of the soft cutaway Concert body are highlighted with Ivoroid binding, also featured on the sound hole. With a rosette of Abalone and the Focus inlay on the Ebony fingerboard, the tasteful design of this guitar is sure to please.
