A Dreadnought in the Pure Folk Tradition
Designed in the spirit of great acoustic folk guitars, the FT340BS follows the lineage of versatile dreadnoughts that have shaped pop, rock, and country music for decades. Its craftsmanship combines a responsive solid top with spectacularly grained sapelli burl back and sides, all enhanced by a carefully polished glossy finish.
Who Is It For and What Styles?
Ideal for beginners to intermediate players seeking a reliable and inspiring guitar, it suits both singer-songwriters and stage musicians. Its dynamics and projection excel in folk, pop, acoustic rock, and country, whether played with a pick or fingerstyle.
Sound Characteristics
The solid spruce top provides clarity, precise attack, and a wide dynamic range. The sapelli burl back and sides enhance the midrange while maintaining silky highs, resulting in a woody and present tone. The dreadnought body shape delivers a solid low-end foundation, strong projection, and natural sustain-perfect for accompanying vocals. When plugged in, the CTF-2N electronics preserve tonal balance for a consistent sound both live and in the studio.

Excellent guitar not only very beautiful but above all a very rich and deep sound.
The materials are of high quality.
After a “break” of 15 years, I consider myself a beginner/intermediate, I am starting from scratch again, the handling is easy and very pleasant.
This instrument is an invitation and an additional motivation to get back to playing.
In short, I love it!!!...Automatically translated
