Built with the fingerstyle players in mind, the S model is the same in every aspect as the Grand Auditorium with one exception, the body depth has been reduced by ¼ ". By leaving the soundboard dimensions the same and reducing the air volume inside the box, the result is a slightly more intimate sound that maintains all the punch, responsiveness and volume of its counterpart. The S is very well balanced with crisp highs, warm mids and rich but not overpowering bass making it ideal for the studio or stage.
