Sitka spruce-topped Indian rosewood: a classic tonal recipe
Built from all-solid tonewoods, the P-03R Rosewood Recording Series features a Sitka spruce top and an Indian rosewood back and sides. Sitka spruce is a time-tested top wood for acoustic guitars, yielding a fundamental-heavy sonic character with a broad dynamic range that withstands hearty strumming without breaking a sweat.
