This brand new Strider features a European spruce top paired with stunning Bois de Rose back and sides. Bois de Rose, a rare variety of rosewood from Madagascar, is prized for its rich overtones and beautiful visual character. Together with the spruce top, it creates a voice that is clear, warm, and well balanced with excellent responsiveness. It’s a very comfortable guitar to play and feels lively in the hands, with a tone that opens up nicely whether you're strumming or playing more delicately. Includes the original hard case as well as a Gator hard case.
