The PF54CE in Natural lets the all-meranti construction speak for itself. Meranti is tonally close to mahogany -- warm, balanced, and smooth -- and using it for the top, back, sides, and neck creates a consistent, unified voice that fingerpickers especially enjoy. The open-pore finish enhances the natural resonance and gives the guitar a pleasant, organic feel in your hands.

The dreadnought cutaway body offers the volume and bass response that rhythm players need, with the added benefit of upper-fret access when you want to add melodic embellishments. The undersaddle pickup and AEQ-2T preamp with onboard tuner provide clean amplification for any setting. A straightforward, honest acoustic-electric at a price that's hard to argue with.
