STA150-CENT Auditorium w/ Cutaway and Electronics
This is a very high quality offering from our friends at the Teton guitar manufacturing company. Many consider the quality right on target with guitars costing $3,000. to $4,000. You have to play one of these to experience the level of workmanship, great tone and comfortable playability.
Mother nature was the artist and the guitars benefit by becoming a beautiful, individual work of art. The solid Spruce top and Rosewood back and sides paired with an auditorium body was the perfect combiation to make this guitar sound as great as it looked. Even though this guitar seems like other guitars out there, it has a distinct Teton sound that is as large as the mountains. These classic combinations with the Teton innovations produce a guitar that has fantastic tone with rich harmonics and an increased volume level. Now take all these positives and add Fishman Flex electronics to the mix. It’s hard to compete with that. All Tetons go through a rarification process (rarified tops and back). This is a natural process that doesn’t overheat or discolor the wood. Guitars are placed in a chemical free vacuum sealed environment that removes impurities and sap. This makes the wood much stronger and improves the tone and makes for a natural and better aging process. Most factories buy green wood and then bake it like a cookie to dry it. They vacuum dry the wood, no heat involved.
