Full Description
View Full DescriptionThe beauty of a grand concert
Experience big sound and superb playability. The grand concert body is smaller than the grand auditorium, providing a gorgeous, comfortable design whilst still producing mesmerising tones. Built with a tapered waist, shorter scaler, and lighter string tension, it is perfect for both studio and stage and accommodates fingerpicking styles wonderfully, granting an abundance of clarity and precision with each note.
Sublime sound
Glistening definition, superb dynamics, and a beautifully balanced response across the whole frequency range. It's all possible with a Lutz spruce top. Lutz spruce combines the sonic characteristics of Sitka, White, Engelmann, and Adirondack, giving you a dreamy tone with superb volume and richness. And you won't miss out on gorgeous tonal warmth; layered sapele back and sides promise a beautifully balanced sound that has both depth and that top end sparkle.
Built for flawless fretting
The ebony fretboard features a naturally high oil content which gives it a lusciously smooth finish. Slide effortlessly from fret to fret and lose yourself in a glorious playing experience, your sound will flow seamlessly from the strings. Ebony is an extremely responsive tonewood that offers a beautifully bright sound as well as a snappy, crisp attack, making it a gorgeous accompaniment to the sapele and spruce body. Project your music with purpose and brilliant volume, every note will cut through the mix astonishingly well.
Soar to new heights
So, you have your indulgent, crisp acoustic sound under your belt. It's beautiful the way it is, but sometimes you need that bit of amplification, especially when you're on stage. Located discreetly on the side of the Academy 12e-N is the ES-B preamp, letting you sculpt your sound with sparkling precision whilst the pickup responds to every touch of acoustic goodness. An LED display and built-in chromatic tuner then allows each note to sing immaculately, so only pristine tuning and sonic excellence will flow from the strings.
