An Acoustic with an "Old School" Character, Designed as a Modern Interpretation of Vintage

The E15SS/v Antique Sunburst follows a clearly inspired approach from great traditional acoustics: aged-looking finish, ivoroid binding, pearloid headstock logo, and pearloid dot inlays. The goal is simple: to recapture the vintage feel and aesthetics while benefiting from modern manufacturing, a double-action truss rod, and precise action setup. The 16" x 4.5" / 406 x 114 mm body size gives it the typical presence of classic standards, ideal for accompaniment, carrying the voice, and filling the space effortlessly.

For Which Guitarists and Styles?

Thanks to its short 24.75" / 629 mm scale length and "Traditional Even C" profile, this guitar suits both intermediate players seeking an expressive instrument and advanced players wanting a responsive and nuanced acoustic. The original .012 - .053 gauge strings provide a good balance between comfort and power, with a slightly softer tension feel than a longer scale. Style-wise, it excels in folk, americana, blues, country, and singer-songwriter accompaniment: an instrument equally suited for detailed fingerpicking and energetic pick strumming.

Sound: Dynamic, Projecting, and "Woody" Mids

The solid Adirondack spruce top is renowned for its wide dynamic range: it handles strong attacks, maintains clarity when played loudly, and offers excellent projection. Paired with hand-carved scalloped X bracing, the guitar gains responsiveness: notes "take off" quickly, with a sense of air and depth, particularly enjoyable in both picking and rhythm playing.

The solid mahogany back and sides provide a direct and warm tone, with present mids and a drier low end than rosewood: perfect for keeping chords clear, placing vocals on top, or achieving well-defined bluesy riffs. Ebony (fingerboard and bridge) enhances attack and precision, while bone (nut and saddle) contributes to sustain and better vibration transmission. The result is a vintage, expressive timbre capable of being soft and intimate with light attack, yet solid and open when played harder.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

To maintain the same feel and response, use a set of D'Addario XS Coated Phosphor Bronze Light .012 - .053 strings (identical to the factory-installed ones). To protect the instrument daily, an acoustic guitar humidifier is a safe choice during dry periods, and a selection of picks with varying thicknesses allows you to fully exploit the dynamic range of the Adirondack top.
