Solid Sitka Spruce and Mahogany for Versatile Tone

A solid Sitka spruce top paired with mahogany back and sides produces a clear, articulate voice with balanced lows, focused mids and crisp highs. This classic tonewood combination provides versatility across musical styles while maintaining dynamic response. The TAS1 C delivers enough projection for acoustic performance while preserving the nuance needed for more detailed playing techniques.
