Using a special process called ATV (Aged To Vintage), we treat the solid Sitka spruce top and bracing to achieve the big, open tone of a decades-old, highly sought-after acoustic guitar. This torrefaction process delivers that amazing tone right out of the box, making the guitar more stable and resonant over time.
With a body depth of 4 5/8 (117mm), an upper bout width of 11 1/2 (292mm), and a lower bout width of 16 (405mm), the Grand Auditorium body size sits perfectly between the larger Dreadnought and the smaller Grand Concert. This makes the Auditorium body type ideal for both strumming/flatpicking and fingerstyle playing, suiting the versatile acoustic player who prefers one guitar to cover a variety of sounds and playing styles.
Spruce offers an ideal balance of strength and flexibility, making it the most popular choice for acoustic guitar tops. Bright yet natural, with a strong and warm midrange, the beloved mahogany wood has been a standard for the back and sides of premium acoustics for many decades.
