Sound Pure's Take
This is not your grandaddy's flattop. Unless your grandaddy happens to have a penchant for highly innovative instruments, or is perhaps known for headlining tours and recording with major labels. If so, then he will really appreciate this guitar's unbelievably lush tone and exceptional performance when amplified. He might also dig the carbon fiber truss rod that never needs adjustment and the enlarged soundboard that projects huge waves of sound and creates incredible amounts of sustain. If this sounds like your grandaddy to you, then me and your grandaddy should hang out sometime.

Top: Redwood
Back and Sides: East Indian Rosewood
Redwood is similar to Cedar, warm, rich, and complex. It exhibits a slighly darker tone with less pronounced bass and more headroom than Cedar.
East Indian Rosewood offers a deeply resonant tone. Rich complex low ends, and strong mids and highs make this a great all-around choice for back and sides.
