Highlights
Matching Ziricote Headplate
A luxury choice of wood, especially for acoustic guitars. Yet, it's use is rewarded with rich volume tone and a signature spider-web aesthetic.
Bocote Back and Sides
Traditionally favored in custom builds and prestigious models, bocote stands out as an exceptional choice for both steel-string acoustics and nylon-string classical guitars. Its impressive flexibility and tonal characteristics make it a highly regarded option for back and sides wood.
Signature B&G Soft V Neck Shape
Our “Soft V” neck profile is inspired by pre-war, vintage acoustic necks. Solid yet comfortable, in order to retain our trademark “parlor” feel and facilitate thumb fretting techniques.
