Proprietary under-bridge transducer pickup system accurately amplifies the guitar and comes with all Overhead guitars.
You should tune each string down at least 1 full tone prior to disassembly for all nylon string collapsible models to prolong string life.
Full Tone in a Travel Body
The wedge design gives a lower shoulder/bout depth that’s deeper than a dreadnought, allowing the smaller body size to deliver great volume and booming bass.
Bone nut & saddle help produce the the tone preferred by classical guitarists.
Traditional sound-hole design with forward-shifted, classical Torres maximizes the resonance and volume of the soundboard.
Comfortable to Play
The wedge design angles the guitar into your body which places the guitar in a comfortable position for fingerboard access and viewing.
The dual-action steel truss-rod enables fine tuning of relief to suit any playing style.
Satin-finish low-c profile neck make this 650mm scale super comfortable to play.
