Superior Construction for Enhanced Musical Expression

The AD17e-SB features a solid spruce top known for its clarity and resonance, paired with solid walnut that adds a warm, woody character to the guitar’s sound profile.

The tropical mahogany neck and eucalyptus fretboard provide a smooth playing experience, complemented by a 1-3/4" neck width that accommodates a variety of playing styles. The matte finish on the neck and body not only enhances the guitar’s aesthetic but also contributes to a comfortable, non-slip feel.

Elegant Aesthetics and Durable Hardware

The satin black tuners and black plastic bridge pins maintain the guitar’s sleek look while ensuring tuning stability.
