Full Description

Solid Spruce & Mahogany Body

This stunning electro acoustic guitar from the Brian May collection is crafted with a solid spruce soundboard. Spruce is a popular choice for acoustic guitars due to its dense properties, its ability to produce a dynamic range of tones, and accommodate any playing style. Combined with a mahogany body, the Rhapsody delivers perfectly balanced tone along with articulation. This elegantly shaped guitar also features a small jumbo body shape, and provides a powerful projection when used unamplified. With its compact dimensions, road-ready construction and a crisp, versatile sound, the Rhapsody makes an ideal travel companion, songwriting partner and a work horse instrument with a delivery and performance fit for any application.

Fishman Presys+ Electronics

In addition to offering you a superb acoustic tone, the Rhapsody is equipped with a Fishman Sonicore braided, under-saddle pickup and the fully-featured Presys+ onboard active preamp. Achieving the perfect tone is easy, with its discreet 3 band EQ sidemount, offering a full host of controls such as a notch filter for anti-feedback control, phase switch, and a brilliance control for extra tone shaping. This low profile control board also features a built-in tuner with an LED display, and allows users to simply plug-and-play. This compact unit runs on standard 9 volt battery, and also includes a low battery level indicator status for optimum use.

Zero Fret Keeps Strings In Place

The zero fret is an extra fret located directly in front of the nut, which serves solely to keep the strings spaced properly. The strings rest on top of the zero fret, which can be higher than the other frets. Zero frets are regarded as an authentic features, as they usually appear on a small number of instruments as an item of vintage-style authenticity. A zero fret isn’t merely a cosmetic touch, as it serves a subtle purpose appreciated by discerning players.
