Another closet queen from my collection. Purchased around 2015/16 and hardly ever looked at because life got in the way. This is the cedar version of the spruce topped DY70CE. Hand Crafted in Japan KEY FEATURES Series Alvarez-Yairi Top Wood Solid AA Western Red Cedar Back & Sides Wood Mahogany Shape Dreadnought Neck Mahogany, 50/50 Semi gloss finish Bracing System Handcarved FST2M - Forward Shifted, Scalloped X Bridge Rosewood Direct Coupled Fingerboard Rosewood With Abalone Inlay Nut & Saddle Real Bone Nut Width 1-23/32" Tuners Gotoh Binding Ivoroid Bridge Pins Ebony Deluxe Wood Case L.R. Baggs StagePro Element Active System. Advanced Under saddle Pickup with Unrivaled Dynamic Range. Unlike typical under saddle acoustic guitar pickups that are dependent on string compression for their sound, the Element was engineered to mirror the soundboard's actual movement as you play. At the heart of the pickup, a flexible film sensor only 2 thousandths of an inch thick picks up the guitar's most delicate nuances. Tracking the motion of the top rather than a direct string attack suppresses "quack" caused by compression and unlocks the Element's unrivaled dynamic range. Superb electronics for a superb guitar!
