Built on the foundation of our scaled-back GT body shape, the AD11e-SB combines exceptional playability with the tonal complexity that only comes from solid tonewoods. Walnut back and sides pair with a spruce top for a rich, woody midrange that will grow warmer as the wood matures, while the C-Class bracing inside increases the volume and sustain to help this compact guitar punch well above its weight, especially in the bass range. Visually, the AD11e-SB fits the American Dream Series model of sparing details to preserve its more accessible price, with subtle elements like a firestripe faux tortoiseshell pickguard and a thin matte finish accentuated by the striking Tobacco Sunburst top. This model includes ES2 electronics for faithful, organic plugged-in tone and ships with a super-durable, lightweight AeroCase for storage and protection
