If you need a guitar that stand head and shoulders out from the crowd, this Ergo Noir from Charles Fox is going to be right up your alley. Charles' Ergo design manages to make a large guitar feel and play like a much smaller instrument--without sacrificing an ounce of volume and tone. The voice on this Ergo Noir stands out to us here at Dream Guitars, and that takes a lot. There's a quick and lively quality that's immediately engrossing, with just a touch of added sweetness in the mids to warm it up and fill it out. The body is engineered with a wedge, elevated fingerboard, cutaway, and soundport to enhance the experience of effortless playability, and features an Alpine Spruce top (painted black) and wildly figured Brazilian Rosewood back and sides plus red purlfings throughout. A Flamed Mahogany neck terminating at Charles' bespoke headstock shape, and an access panel at the tail, tie it all together. Ready for a modern addition to your collection? Looking for a flattop that not only plays great, but has a little something extra in the voice that's unlike the others? This 2016 Charles Fox Ergo Noir is the ticket.

I have been a fan of the Ergo design since Charles Fox first created it. It's a totally different instrument, after 10 or 15 minutes with it you'll wonder how it does what it does. Clarity beyond compare and separation between every note but somehow it all comes together in an inspiring way. Very cool on so many levels.
This one plays effortlessly and really stands out to my ears. The Brazilian Rosewood body, plus an Alpine Spruce double top and wedge design, makes for a quick and immediate sound. - Accessories
