Key Features

Classic Dreadnought Power The Americana features the iconic Dreadnought body shape, beloved for its booming projection and rich bass response. This model includes a Cutaway (CW) design, allowing easy access to the upper frets (14-fret neck joint) for solos and high-register chords. Whether you play bluegrass, rock, or folk, this guitar delivers a full, commanding sound.

Distinctive Canadian Construction Handcrafted with attention to detail, the Americana uses a unique blend of tonewoods:

• Solid Cedar Top: Provides warmth, depth, and instant responsiveness to a light touch.

• Wild Cherry Back & Sides: A layered construction that offers a tone falling between the mellowness of mahogany and the brightness of maple.

• Silver Leaf Maple Neck: Ensures stability and a smooth playing feel.

Stage-Ready Electronics Ready for the spotlight, this “songbird” comes equipped with the Fishman Presys II preamp system. This reliable electronics package features a built-in tuner, volume, and tone controls, ensuring you sound as good plugged in as you do acoustically.

Vintage Aesthetics Finished in a stunning Bourbon Burst, the Americana exudes a rustic, vintage charm that looks great on any stage. The Rosewood fingerboard adds a touch of class and warmth to the overall aesthetic.
