Ervin Somogyi takes his hallmark model, the modern fingerstylist’s dream machine Modified Dreadnought, and shrinks it by 4% for the Studio model you see here. This beauty is nearly new, from 2019, and already oh so lively. Wenge back and sides paired with a tight-grained Sitka Spruce top, Ervin’s pixelated rosette, and a slinky smooth setup that’s a delight for the fingers. One of the virtues of Ervin’s Studio model is an increased balance between bass and treble, with a slightly more articulate midrange and warmth. The iconic Somogyi bass response is all here, and it mates sweetly with the rest of the voice for fingerstyle royalty. Weighing in at a trim 4lbs 4oz, this 2019 Somogyi Studio is lively, exquisite, and ready for action.
