The G Series GD100S is a full size dreadnought acoustic guitar
specifically engineered for the serious player. Carefully
selected tone woods of mahogany and spruce create a sound that is
well balanced and articulate, especially for finger pickers. It
features a gloss finish and upgraded features traditionally found
on guitars costing much more than the GD100S.
Why the G Series GD100S?
------------------------
The solid Spruce top and Thunderflex™ scalloped bracing create a
guitar top that 'breathes' more, resulting in greater projection
when playing those big power chords. Multi-ply binding, a soft
cornered bridge, and die-cast tuners give you a reliable guitar
that will last for years. These great features plus an easy to
play neck profile give you what can easily become your next
'main' guitar.
Solid top acoustics
-------------------
If you had to pick the most important part of an acoustic guitar,
it would be the top. The top acts like a speaker cone in your
stereo.When the string is plucked, energy is transferred to the
top and the top starts to move. The movement of the top moves the
air and we hear the music. A solid top is more flexible than a
laminated top, making it more willing to resonate and move the
air. The result is a louder, fuller sound with more attack,
sustain, and projection.
Solid spruce offers a tight, punchy low end response with great
projection. Players who demand a powerful sound with tons of
projection will hear the benefit of a solid spruce top. Solid
cedar emphasizes the low mid response for warmth with great
clarity and bright harmonics for definition. Players with a
delicate or more intricate style will appreciate the cedar top.
Soft corner bridge
------------------
The rounded corners on our new acoustic bridge are visually
consistent with the line, but there is a very nice physical
advantage as well. The soft corners reduce the possibility of
finish cracking that very often appears at the sharp corners of
the typical bridge.
Scalloped braces
----------------
The technique of scalloping or shaving the braces can have a huge
impact on the power and tone of an acoustic guitar. By shaving or
reducing the thickness of the brace, it becomes more flexible and
therefore lets the top move more freely and to a greater
extent.When done properly, the brace maintains its structural
integrity, while making the top more efficient. The result is
faster attack, longer sustain, more bass, more power, and an
overall improvement in the whole tone system. Players who demand
tons of bass and power will want this feature.
More about the G Series:
------------------------
There is a curious mindset with manufacturers about their entry
level guitars. They tend to believe that economical guitars need
to look cheap! We don't believe or understand this. A guitar
should be visually inspiring, and include quality features;
regardless of how much it costs.
