A Pro series electro-acoustic designed for stage and studio

The Pro series stands out by being 100% Japanese made and constantly innovating at every stage, aiming to offer reliable, high-performance, and consistent instruments. In this approach, the P10DC is positioned as an ambitious electro-acoustic folk guitar: a modern dreadnought ready to withstand rehearsals, concerts, and recording sessions, while maintaining a true acoustic identity thanks to its solid wood lutherie.

Who is the P10DC for? From demanding guitarists to stage musicians

With its dreadnought format, steel strings, and cutaway, the P10DC targets the intermediate to advanced guitarist seeking a solid acoustic foundation as well as a genuine integrated amplification solution. It excels in folk, pop, country, pick accompaniment, and also in fingerstyle when a clear definition and dynamic response are desired. The cutaway is a real asset for arrangements that climb high on the neck, arpeggiated intros, and leads in the upper register.

A broad, detailed, and balanced tonal signature

The solid Sitka spruce top provides attack, clarity, and excellent responsiveness whether you play with a pick or with more subtle nuances. Paired with solid East Indian rosewood back and sides, the guitar gains depth in the low end, harmonic breadth, and sustain, with silky highs and rich mids, ideal for filling acoustic space.

The dreadnought format favors projection and natural volume while maintaining good clarity of open chords. For amplification, the CT4-DX Dual Mode electronics rely on a Palathetic pickup (precise and articulate) and a TCPU 1 transducer (capable of reproducing vibration and dynamics). This setup allows for building an amplified sound that remains musical, with attack, body, and good feedback control depending on settings and sound reinforcement.

Recommended compatible accessories

To get the most out of this electro-acoustic folk guitar, favor a set of steel strings for 6-string folk guitar (suited to your touch), as well as picks according to style (strumming or finer playing). For daily practice, a folk guitar capo and a tuner are also essentials, both acoustically and on stage.
