Solid tonewood combination for clarity and resonance

Though economically priced to fit practically any budget, the Apprentice AG40CE boasts pro-quality tonewoods that punch far above other instruments in its class. For some extra bite to cut cleanly through mixes, the sides and back are made from beautifully figured flame maple, imbuing a glorious brightness with very little feedback. The Apprentice AG40CE's mahogany neck feels comfortable in your hands, fully prepared for marathon performances night after night. Not to mention, its quartersawn scalloped bracing enhances projection and tonal balance, ensuring your audiences hear only the best from your playing.

Hit the stage with the convenience of built-in electronics

Leave the clip-on tuners and extra pedals at home. With the Apprentice AG40CE's reliable built-in electronics, you can rest assured that you have all you need to deliver showstopping performances. Its 3-band EQ makes it easy to tweak your tone on the fly, with a handy tuner for quick and accurate tune-ups in between songs. With the AG40CE, you can plug in, tune up, dial in your sound, and get to playing!
