Building on the successful launch of the Essence Series, we are proud to introduce a new, upgraded model that takes craftsmanship and tonal excellence to the next level. The Essence Special features a torrefied solid adirondack spruce top for enhanced power and tonal richness, paired with flamed blackwood back and sides for striking visual appeal. Its newly introduced Brown Burst semi-gloss finish adds a bold vintage flair, complemented by signature herringbone detailing that reflects timeless elegance.

Aged to Vintage Top and Bracing

Using a special process called ATV (Aged To Vintage), we treat the solid Sitka spruce top and bracing to achieve the big, open tone of a decades-old, highly sought-after acoustic guitar. This torrefaction process delivers that amazing tone right out of the box, making the guitar more stable and resonant over time.

“Just-Right” Grand Auditorium Body

With a body depth of 4 5/8″ (117mm), an upper bout width of 11 1/2″ (292mm), and a lower bout width of 16″ (405mm), the Grand Auditorium body size sits perfectly between the larger Dreadnought and the smaller Grand Concert. This makes the Auditorium body type ideal for both strumming/flatpicking and fingerstyle playing, suiting the versatile acoustic player who prefers one guitar to cover a variety of sounds and playing styles.
