Classic Tonewoods with a Modern Twist The 517e pairs a torrefied Sitka spruce top with neo-tropical mahogany back and sides, resulting in a tone that is as warm and woody as it is clear and articulate. The torrefaction process enhances the top’s responsiveness, imbuing it with the open, seasoned character of a vintage guitar. Meanwhile, the mahogany body delivers a dry, focused sound, adding a touch of organic warmth to every note.
