The new CLD-65E ASA NT and CLO-65E ASA NT acoustic models are crafted entirely from solid acacia! The CLD-65E ASA NT dreadnought-style acoustic offers excellent projection and response, great for players who enjoy strumming and flatpicking. The CLO-65E ASA NT has a more compact orchestra body shape, providing a focused and articulate tone, perfectly suited for fingerstyle players.

Sweet Acacia Tones

Both the CLD-65E ASA NT and CLO-65E ASA NT feature a solid acacia top paired with solid acacia back and sides. It’s not just a visual preference, although the grain pattern looks stunning underneath the natural finish. As a tonewood, acacia delivers a warm and well-rounded character. For amplification or direct recording, both guitars are equipped with the HB-03 pickup and preamp system. An integrated tuner ensures that players can tune on the fly when the need arises.

With their all-solid construction, graceful aesthetics, and versatile performance, the CLD-65E ASA NT and CLO-65E ASA NT cover a range of playing styles and genres, offering excellent tones and great value.
