This item is in great condition and is barely used, showing only minor signs of usage from display on our showroom floor.
The Forty Three is both direct and powerful, but with an easy-playing shorter scale length, it’s easy to see why this guitar has been favoured by so many singer-songwriters over the years. The big-bodied slope shoulder shape, combined with our Baked Sitka spruce top and mahogany back and sides, delivers warm mids, solid lows and great definition. It’s a timeless acoustic guitar tone.
The Forty Three Deluxe features flame maple back and sides, Madagascar Rosewood fretboard and bridge, and a pearl Inlay package.
