DISC Dean AXS Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar, Gloss Natural

Full Description

Dreadnought Body Shape

The Dean AXS features a dreadnought body shape, which provides an enormous voice, and maintains overall tonal balance. The dreadnought shape was originally designed for hard pick attack. However through years of superb craftsmanship, guitar luthiers have created a stunningly toned, well-balanced dreadnought voice that can handle many genres and styles of play with equal ease. The big body is ideal for players with a longer reach, and those more comfortable with the dreadnought size. The sheer volume the AXS can project makes it ideal for the singer-songwriter, as vocalists can really push their diaphragm to the max and not feel too loud against the guitar's volume, as it will sing as loud as you do.

Spruce & Mahogany Tonewoods

The Dean AXS Dreadnought features a stunning spruce top offering crisp articulation and a broad dynamic range. Spruce is the most commonly used wood for guitar tops as it generates a versatile sound and accommodates numerous playing styles, from aggressive to fingerpicking. The wood itself is quite elastic in nature, which resonates well whilst remaining strong, and provides a focused, clear sound of deep lows, warm mid-range, and bright sparkling highs. The spruce top is accompanied by mahogany back and sides which adds a characterised warmth to its brightly toned spruce top. Used as back and side panels the mahogany delivers a meaty mid-range, producing punchy, woody tones with plenty of depth and complexity that will please most playing styles.

Mahogany Neck & Rosewood Fingerboard

The AXS's neck is crafted from mahogany which provides a strong and durable neck and great resonance, offering great sound and playability. The reason why many guitar necks are built from mahogany is because the wood responds greatly to different styles of play, from fingerpicking styles to different strumming patterns with equal ease. The neck is topped with a rosewood fingerboard that delivers a bright, warm, sparkly tone that really shines through when using fingerpicking techniques. The rosewood fingerboard also provides a smooth and energetic playing experience and is sprinkled with pearl dot fingerboard markers for added elegance.
