Includes new improved 2025 deluxe hardshell case
Overview:
This series is positioned as a premium entry-level and beyondall-solid wood guitar, combining professional-level construction with outstanding value. Featuring Hsienmo’s unique bolt-on cantilevered neck design and laser-carved bracing, this model delivers superb tone, playability, and durability.
Add one of our pickup options and you’ve got a truly professional-level working instrument — ready for studio, stage, or home.
If this guitar were made in the U.S. with the same specs and craftsmanship, it would easily cost 3–4 times more. It’s an incredible blend of tone, technology, and traditional artistry.
Tonewood & Sound:
Top: European German Spruce – clear, resonant, and responsive
Back & Sides: Solid Mahogany – rich mids with added sparkle in the highs (brighter than traditional mahogany builds)
Resulting Tone: Mellow yet articulate, with enhanced projection and clarity — perfect for fingerstyle or strumming
Craftsmanship & Playability Highlights:
Neck:
Mahogany neck with dual carbon fiber stiffening rods for long-term stability
Satin neck finish for smooth, fast fretting
Cantilevered neck attachment (bolt-on design allows better neck alignment and serviceability over time)
Pyramid volute for added strength and vintage elegance
1 3/4" nut width for comfortable fingerstyle and chord work
25.5" scale length
20 polished frets with rounded ends for excellent feel
Raised treble-side fingerboard extension enhances top resonance and vibration
