The fan-like arrangement of the braces in the lower bout optimises the guitar’s tonal response, offering improved dynamic range and articulation. Complementing the bracing, the long-tenon neck joint enhances wood coupling between the neck and body, increasing resonance and providing a robust, stable structure. This design ensures a vibrant, expressive sound while allowing for precise micro-adjustments to maintain an optimal setup over time. Andy Powers' legendary luthier ability is clearly showcased with this guitar - every design feature is carefully crafted to give you the best possible playing experience.
