This was the top of the line model when first released and is very similar to the one Dave Stewart of the Eurythmics uses . This model was very expensive when new and was produced for only a couple of years in very limited numbers and was built as the perfect electro acoustic. This gorgeous electro acoustic was made in Japan and features a stunning quilted maple back and sides, as well as quilted maple arched top .

What sets this guitar apart from your standard electro acoustic is the unique pickup configuration which makes it the ideal live instrument . The electronics include a humbucker pick up disguised as the two last frets on the neck and piezo pickup under the bridge. The EQ allows you to select either or blend the two pickups . This guitar has two 1/4" jacks to giving you the option for stereo output or you can use either or both as you prefer .
