The back and sides on this one are well figured, with ripples that show as the light moves. Dark binding and an abalone rosette set it off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrand Auditorium bodies sit between a dreadnought and a smaller folk guitar, so they tend to be good all-rounders for strumming and fingerpicking. Alvarez's FS6 bracing is a forward-shifted X that Alvarez says opens up a slightly larger area of the top around the bridge. An East Indian rosewood fingerboard and bridge, mother-of-pearl inlays and a bone nut and saddle round it out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you want one guitar that can do a little of everything and has some figure to it, this one is worth a look. The photos are of this exact guitar, serial #E26063325.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition note:\u003c\/strong\u003e This guitar is new, but it has a small blemish in the finish on the lower bout, along the edge of the top where it meets the binding. You can see it up close in the photos. It's cosmetic and in the finish only, and we wanted you to know about it up front.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAt a Glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTop:\u003c\/strong\u003e Solid AA North American Sitka Spruce\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBack \u0026amp; Sides:\u003c\/strong\u003e Acacia\/Koa\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody:\u003c\/strong\u003e Grand Auditorium, no cutaway\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eElectronics:\u003c\/strong\u003e None (acoustic)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCase:\u003c\/strong\u003e Not included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBody\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShape: Grand Auditorium, no cutaway\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTop: Solid AA North American Sitka Spruce\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBack \u0026amp; Sides: Acacia\/Koa\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBracing: FS6 (forward-shifted X)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish: Shadowburst top\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRosette: Abalone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNeck \u0026amp; Fingerboard\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFingerboard: East Indian Rosewood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInlays: Mother of Pearl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNut: Bone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHardware\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge: East Indian Rosewood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSaddle: Bone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTuners: Chrome\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eElectronics: None (acoustic)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSerial\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSerial Number (on label): E26063325\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProfessional setup in our shop before it ships\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA handwritten note from our family, some Papaw Odell's stickers, and our family's cookie recipe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis guitar doesn't come with a case.
