A Wood Classics Electro-Acoustic Designed for Versatility
The Wood Classics AED96-5HG fits within the spirit of modern electro-acoustic guitars: a responsive acoustic for natural playing at home, and integrated electronics to instantly switch to amplified mode. Its glossy black finish and understated details make it equally comfortable in the studio or on stage.
For Whom and Which Styles?
This electro-acoustic guitar is aimed at beginner to intermediate guitarists seeking a complete instrument, but it will also suit an experienced musician as a reliable second guitar for the stage. It excels in pop, folk, variety, vocal accompaniment, and arpeggios, with a comfortable feel thanks to its 43 mm nut width.
Sound
The solid European spruce top provides a quick response and excellent definition: pick attacks come through clearly, while fingerstyle nuances remain distinct. The mahogany back and sides add warmth in the midrange, with a warm bass and a soft treble register. The combination of bone nut and compensated saddle promotes intonation precision and more consistent sustain, while the "pinless bridge" design contributes to a stable string hold and a clean aesthetic.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
This guitar comes factory-strung with Adamas 1818NU .012-.053 strings: to maintain the same feel and tonal balance, opt for an acoustic string set in .012-.053. For the stage, a strap with a standard attachment will fit (compatibility with strap lock systems is not guaranteed depending on the model).
