This acoustic electric model is fitted with the fantastic LR Baggs Element pick up and StagePro EQ for optimal live performance.
The Masterworks Series is one of the best value all solid guitar line in the market today. Nothing can really match a guitar made from all-solid wood. the deflection of the notes is quicker, the quality of the sound is better, you can obtain optimal response and the sound of this guitar will improve as it ages.
The term “all solid” of course refers to the guitar top, back and sides being made of solid wood rather than laminated.
Each guitar is designed to get the best out if its components, and for them to work together. These components include the FST2 bracing system, bi-level rosewood /Pau Ferro extended bridge, real bone nut and saddle, carefully seasoned tonewood and a thin finish.
The FST2 system is a forward shifted X brace design, which means the axis of the X is closer to the sound hole and therefore creates a larger soundboard area allowing for more energy and vibration to be harnessed. Both the X braces and asymmetric tone bars are carefully scalloped. The scalloping design was the result of years of continual development in our Yairi workshops.
The Masterworks personality is open and powerful. The FST2 system also creates very good balance so both the treble and bass registers are clearly present and balanced in relation to each other.
Along with a more angled headstock, the bi-level bridge increases string tension by making the break angel of the strings from the saddle to the top more acute. Improved string tension adds to the sound, feel and response, which are also heightened by the use of real bone nuts and saddles.
Masterworks Series also demonstrates the great finishing capabilities; the gloss models have a clear deep shine from a finish that is applied as thinly as possible, to help optimize tone.
