A "Pro" Electro-Acoustic Designed for Performance, from Studio to Stage

With the P10NC, we are clearly in the spirit of a professional-grade electro-acoustic folk guitar: selection of solid woods, refined aesthetics, and live-oriented electronics. Its design emphasizes reliability and consistency of an instrument ready to play, while maintaining a true acoustic personality. The glossy finish and abalone inlays reinforce its premium positioning without excess: this is a guitar made to be played, recorded, and regularly amplified.

Who Is the P10NC For? For Demanding Guitarists and Stage Musicians

Thanks to its NEX format and cutaway, this electro-acoustic folk guitar is particularly suited for intermediate to advanced guitarists who want a comfortable instrument for long sessions, with good accessibility across the entire neck. It is well suited for styles where dynamics and definition matter: pop, folk, fingerstyle, vocal accompaniment, as well as more aggressive pick playing whenever you need a guitar that "holds" the mix. The Dual Mode electronics also make it very relevant for musicians who alternate between clear and precise tones and a more "acoustic" sound depending on the context (rehearsal, studio, stage).

Sound: Clarity, Depth, and Articulation, Supported by Solid Woods

The solid Sitka spruce top provides a clear attack and excellent projection: chords stand out with presence while maintaining a nice dynamic range when played louder. The solid East Indian rosewood back and sides enrich the response with deep lows, bright highs, and a sense of harmonic width highly appreciated in both arpeggios and strumming. The mahogany neck contributes solid and musical mids, while the ebony fingerboard enhances articulation and precision, ideal for nuanced playing.

On the amplification side, the CT4-DX Dual Mode system combines a Palathetic pickup and a TCPU 1 transducer: this setup aims for a signal that is both defined and usable, with faithful attack reproduction and excellent stage control. The result: a guitar that remains expressive, with consistent response when switching from pure acoustic to amplified, and an excellent foundation for shaping your sound (EQ, dynamics, effects).

Recommended Compatible Accessories

To get the most out of this 6-string steel acoustic electro-acoustic folk guitar, you can pair it with a set of steel acoustic strings (gauge chosen according to your touch), a folk guitar capo (standard nut width), and an acoustic guitar humidifier to protect the solid woods during seasonal changes. The guitar comes with a soft case for transport.
