Key Features and Playing Feel
Tone and Projection
The Sitka spruce top offers an excellent attack/sustain ratio, with generous dynamics and clear highs. The laminated sapele back and sides ensure remarkable consistency against climatic variations, delivering reliable sound day after day. The X-bracing stabilizes the top and promotes surprising projection for a body of this size.
Comfort and Mobility
The GS Mini shape, satin-finished neck, and 23.5" scale length provide a smooth playing experience with comfortable string tension under the fingers. The reduced size does not compromise power: it concentrates energy and clarity, ideal for accompaniment, fingerpicking, or exploring open chords.
Visual Signature and Tuning
The visual design created with Jacob Collier highlights the instrument?s unique character. Combined with the "DAEAD" tuning and the specific D?Addario 5-string set, it encourages new voicings and fresh melodic lines without changing your guitarist?s reference points.
