Western guitar with mic, Low Gloss finish. PA Series. The body shape is created for Fingerstyle playing, high playability combined with Tapping-friendly body shape, with a well-balanced and good-sounding sound that "sits down" just as well in the studio as on stage. A specially designed XM bracing gives a wide sound and good projection (how the instrument throws the sound).
A rich and long sustain that works well both for plectrum and finger playing. Getting electronics, preamps and microphones into acoustic instruments is always a compromise with the acoustic sound of the instrument. On the PA model, this compromise has been made as small as possible by using a very compact active preamp and a newly designed magnetic pickup. to affect the acoustic sound as little as possible. The guitar retains its acoustic tone while having a stable, well-sounding, natural and distortion-free plugged-in sound. The PA230E has a dual pickup system, Magnetic and a contact pickup. Perfect for the Fingerstyle guitarist.
