Mahogany Body

Mahogany is a fairly dense tonewood which creates a warm and rich tone with excellent depth. The tonewood provides incredible depth, offering enough grind and bite to create balanced tones with full, tight lows and appealing highs. It also offers durability and a tone which will mature over the years, for a long lasting investment. In addition, the EC Series body shape also features a single cutaway, which allows easier access to the higher frets and more flexibility across the whole fingerboard.

3-Piece Mahogany Neck & Jatoba Fingerboard

The EC-258's neck is made from 3-piece mahogany, which is sturdy, durable and more resistant to warping than the classic 1-piece. The mahogany neck offers a rich and resonant sound with plenty of warmth. It also has a punchy mid-range emphasis, and the roasted jatoba fingerboard brings an earthy tone, as well as offering added amounts of projection. The jatoba fingerboard also adds bright attack to the mahogany's deeper, darker overtone content.
