A Traditional-Spirited "Slope Shoulder" Dreadnought in the Wood Classics Range

With its Sunburst aesthetic, cream binding, and tulip button tuners, the Wood Classics AAS96-1 embraces a decidedly classic approach: an acoustic guitar designed to recapture the character of great traditional acoustics while benefiting from modern details such as the "pinless" bridge for practical everyday use.

For Which Guitarist and Styles?

Thanks to its dreadnought body and solid top, this AAS96-1 is particularly suited for demanding beginners up to intermediate level players seeking an expressive and versatile acoustic. It performs well in folk, pop, country, and chanson, with very good strumming response. Its 45 mm / 1.77" nut width also favors a more open fingerstyle playing.

Sound

The solid European spruce soundboard provides clarity, attack, and dynamic reserve: the more you play, the more the guitar responds with nuance. The mahogany back and sides enhance midrange warmth, with rounded lows and a controlled high spectrum, ideal for accompaniment that remains clear. The dovetail joint, combined with the bone nut and compensated bridge, improves vibration transmission and intonation, while the slope shoulder format helps achieve broad projection without harshness.
