Full Description
View Full DescriptionResounding Resonance
Bring out your natural sound. With both the body and the soundboard being constructed from basswood, you'll find that the EA10R sits happily in between warm and bright in terms of tone. This means that whatever you play, this guitar will emit a balanced sound, with many of the sharper high frequencies dampened.
A Graphtec Nubone nut helps to keep your tone great and your tuning stable. The quarter sawn scalloped sitka spruce bracing is also a major contributor to this guitar's well-rounded tone, allowing the strings to vibrate vibrantly without restriction. A cutaway body design gives you heaps of potential to play around with the higher notes, and the mahogany neck makes for some seriously slick manoeuvring around different frets.
Liven it Up
If you like it loud, you'll like this. Barcus-Berry have designed some truly awesome EQ4T pickups which the EA10R has lovingly adopted. This means that you can use this guitar for live performances as well as private practice, and it will still sound mega. With a volume knob you can make sure that you're as loud as you want to be, and a built-in tuner means you'll never have to endure the pain of being out of tune.
There's more to this guitar than just volume, though. A three band EQ function, with a bass, mid, and treble knob, means that you can also construct your EA10R's amplified tone based on your personal taste. You'll find this opens the door to a great deal of different tonal options for you to explore and use as you see fit.
Distinct Design
With a mini jumbo body the EA10R is incredibly easy to pick up and play, and it will also feel comfortable when you hold it. Shining out from the smooth red surface is a faux-abalone rosette and chrome die-cast tuners, topping off the wonderful aesthetic of this impressive guitar.
