Description
Introduced in 2014, the Tradition 1 Performer has had great reviews from industry magazines like Vintage Guitar (Aug. 2015) “Fat and Clean” and Acoustic Magazine (Feb. 2016) “Sound Quality – Superb, almost faultless”. The unique combination of woods give the Traditional 1 great dynamic range that blooms well up and down the neck. Big, open sounding chords and tight arpeggios make fingerstyle or strummers feel at home. The integrated tone ring around the entire top, opens up the tone and breaks up the structure around the edges for a beautifully balanced and resonant sound. This guitar is very light and responsive – great for the “lead” acoustic player. The Tradition 1 features a body made of solid spruce back and sides.
