It has a spruce top and mahogany back and sides, classic tonewoods that generate a warm and well-balanced tone. The neck profile on Regent Series a little finer so theyre easier to play and every model is constructed using a dovetail neck joint that optimizes the transfer of energy between the neck and body.

This allows the guitar to sing a little more and it also looks fantastic. It also has a PPS saddle and nut help to improve response and sustain.
