Richwood Master Series are all handmade acoustic guitars, made of premium selected tonewoods, professionally set-up before packing.
Our Auditorium model is elegantly shaped, yet the body is deeper and thus delivers a warmer tone that suits not only the fingerstyle player perfectly, but still pleases the flatpicker perfectly. The smaller surface size of the top makes it easier to put into motion, it responds quicker than a bigger surface top. This makes the A-40 perfect for fingerstyle playing. The solid sitka spruce top combined with mahogany back and sides result in a light, yet warm and lively tone. The 40 series has a gloss finish that makes the lively tone more focussed and gives the high frequencies more body.
The technical and aesthetical advanced features include bone fittings, a double action trussrod, voluted headstock joint, cotton capped X-braces, mahogany back braces, high grade Derjung machine heads, USA D'Addario EXP16 coated phosphor bronze strings.
