Well-balanced Acoustic-electric Parlor
Acoustic-electric parlors are a common interest among our vintage guitar fans at Sweetwater. Case in point: when the Rialto RN GT EQ arrived on campus, it quickly became the talk of the town. With a smooth, ergonomic parlor shape and an easy-to-maneuver neck, the Rialto emits a classic acoustic tone with a classic body shape that every guitarist can recognize. The introduction of a Fishman Presys VT and under-saddle piezo pickup combo allows this guitar to lend its unique sound to the stage or studio. The Rialto not only looks like a musical work of art — it sounds like one, too.
Ripe with sonic potential
Thanks to its marriage of Sitka spruce and mahogany tonewoods, the Rialto RN GT EQ delivers a uniquely projective tone for a parlor with a surprising amount of balance. Take into account its smooth “C” shape mahogany neck with a gloss finish, and this guitar boasts incredible playability with versatile sound. It also features a traditional X-bracing pattern, granting a classic acoustic sound while adding to the Forum’s structural integrity. Top everything off with a set of TUSQ ratio tuning machines and a Graph Tech nut, and the Rialto RN GT EQ becomes a parlor for discerning players, both traditional and modern.
Under-the-hood piezo pickup and Fishman electronics
Fishman's credibility is second to none when it comes to under-saddle pickup and electronics systems. In the case of the Rialto RN GT EQ, a Fishman Sonitone preamp and under-saddle piezo pickup are more than capable of faithfully boosting the voice of your instrument. The onboard volume and tone knobs allow you to fine-tune your output for whatever application you wish.
