Bristol guitars have always been highly prized by bluegrass and country players, but this new cutaway acoustic-electric is perfect for those styles and a whole lot more! The all mahogany construction has long been a favorite of blues and ragtime players, and this model has the rich acoustic tone that really "cuts the mike" on stage and in the recording studio. Add the on-board electronics that amplify the natural acoustic tone to any desired level of volume, and you have a guitar that will excel in any imaginable musical situation. The slim, fast mahogany neck, combined with the cutaway body, allows easy access all the way up to the highest frets. The tuning machines turn smoothly and hold securely. The guitarist who prefers a steel-string guitar of manageable size will not find a more versatile acoustic-electric model guitar anywhere for anywhere near the modest price of this sensational Bristol guitar!
