more vibration, which produces a better tone and more sustain. Aluminium tone bars make the guitars more durable and frees the top from the constraints of the standard X bracing system. Avoiding the soundhole gives an
increased area for the top to evenly vibrate and, by relocating it to the top, the player hears the tones coming from the chamber. The electric-acoustics have a tuner with a circuit breaker built in, along with standard line jack and XLR active ports.
Available in dreadnought, jumbo and OM classical, as well as four and five- string bass guitars, the Boulder Creek guitars have already received many accolades including Gold Award for overall value from Guitar World. From: Summerfield 0191 414 9000
