An AC Model Designed to Showcase Solid Woods
With its "all solid wood" construction and lutherie-inspired material choices (Sitka spruce, ovangkol, ebony, bone), the AC222CE Natural positions itself as a guitar designed to deliver a mature and nuanced acoustic sound. The combination of hand-scalloped X bracing and responsive tonewoods emphasizes projection and musicality while maintaining good note-to-note definition.
For Which Guitarists and Styles?
This guitar is particularly aimed at intermediate to advanced players seeking an expressive acoustic capable of handling fingerstyle playing as well as energetic strumming. It suits styles such as pop, folk, vocal accompaniment, and more detailed arrangements where balance and clarity are essential.
Sound
The solid Sitka spruce top provides attack, precision, and a wide dynamic range: it responds quickly to nuances and retains clarity when played loudly. The solid ovangkol back and sides add depth in the low mids, with present but rarely harsh highs, enhancing overall balance. The hand-scalloped X bracing allows the top to vibrate more freely, resulting in greater projection and more generous sustain. Finally, the ebony fingerboard and bridge contribute to articulation clarity, while the bone nut aids vibration transfer for a fuller, more defined sound.
