A 16" folk guitar designed for resonance and finesse
With body dimensions of 16" / 406.4 mm width and 4.71875" / 119.86 mm depth, the E2D-BK belongs to the family of generously sized acoustic guitars, crafted to offer breadth without sacrificing nuance. The choice of noble woods (cedar, sapele, ebony) and finishing details such as purflings and top/back binding reflect an instrument oriented towards expressiveness, with a classic and refined aesthetic.
For which guitarist and styles?
The E2D-BK is aimed at the intermediate to advanced guitarist seeking a responsive acoustic capable of conveying playing subtleties. Its balance makes it comfortable for fingerstyle, vocal accompaniment, and nuanced strumming, with a touch that rewards both light attacks and stronger dynamics. The 44.45 mm / 1.75" nut width provides ample space for arpeggios and fingerpicking.
Sound
The solid cedar top favors a soft and immediate attack, with singing mids and excellent response at low intensity, ideal for expressive playing. The solid sapele back and sides add clarity, good note sustain, and a structured bass while maintaining a warm character. The hand-scalloped X bracing enhances projection and spectrum openness by improving top resonance and the sensation of "vibration" under the fingers. Finally, the combination of ebony fingerboard/saddle and bone nuts contributes to definition, sustain, and harmonic precision, particularly noticeable on open chords and melodic lines.
