Encore BSMCE-18-G Orchestra Cutaway Acoustic-Electric Guitar
false falseWe're sorry-this item is unavailable.

Overview
A solid top guitar ready for the stage with upgraded Fishman Presys electronics.
The Bedell Encore BSMCE-18-G Orchestra Cutaway Acoustic-Electric Guitar is a handcrafted medium priced guitar that can handle any performance situation, including the stage.
The BSMCE-18 features a solid Sitka spruce top, one of the most popular woods for guitar tops today. Sitka spruce produces an even, clear response from low to high tones. Known to improve with age, a Sitka-top guitar should make a great companion for your musical journey. Bedell uses mahogany for the back and sides. This works well for an orchestra model guitar with a Sitka top to generate a strong bass with thick mid and treble tones.
Upgraded Fishman Presys electronics add powerful acoustic sound to stage performances. The preamp has a 3-band EQ plus a brilliance control for getting just the right tone. A notch filter and phase switch are available to help fight feedback, while the onboard tuner is ready to check your tuning any time, plugged in or not.
