For added volume at larger events, this model comes equipped with a Fishman Isys III pickup and preamp system, offering an excellent tone. This system comes designed with a volume control, alongside a three-band EQ. With this you can adjust the bass, mids, and treble on your instrument so your instrument suits the style you want to achieve. Its electronic perfection doesn't stop there though. Onboard there is also a tuner, ensuring you will always sound pitch perfect in performances. Quickly tweak your tuning between songs so you don't miss a note.
Perfection in every detail
This model has been crafted from a variety of exquisite tonewoods that all combine to help produce its beautiful natural sound. Its body features a solid spruce top, delivering a crisp and articulate tone with a broad dynamic range, focused and clear sound. This has been complemented by maple back and sides, adding a distinct warmth and punch. Combined, these woods offer a complexity that will please most playing styles.
Attached to the body is the neck, also crafted from maple. When used for this, it falls on the warmer end of the tonal spectrum, whilst its nature lets it respond perfectly to a variety of styles. Unleash your creativity and receive a sonically pleasing sound in response. In addition, the neck has been topped with a lignum rosa fingerboard, adding clarity and a pleasing warmth to the overall sound, whilst also providing a smooth and effortless playing experience.
Stunning sounds in a comfortable body
The G5021WPE delivers the classic Penguin style in a richly resonant parlour-size acoustic guitar. This body shape is slightly smaller than an average sized guitar, offering a balanced tone with a powerful projection, whilst delivering a perfect mid-range tone. This type of body shape has recently had a resurgence with modern players due to its versatility and compact size, making it a favourite with travelling musicians. Its compact size also accommodates fingerpicking players, as it's nipped in waist means it can be held closer to the body for an incredibly comfortable play.
