Solid Cedar Soundboard Resonates with Warmth and Nuance

The EF381SC 12-String's solid cedar top provides a balanced tone with warmth, clarity and nuance. Cedar responds quickly to a light touch but also projects well for more vigorous playing. This dynamic range allows the guitarist to express a wide range of musical ideas and emotions.

Maple Back and Sides Reflect Soundboard's Tonal Complexity

The EF381SC 12-String's maple back and sides work in tandem with the solid cedar top to reflect the guitar's full tonal range. Maple provides a clear and focused tone that complements cedar's warmth and resonance. Together, these premium tonewoods achieve an ideal balance of warmth and clarity.
