A Walnut fretboard features a well-balanced tonal character from low to high end. Solid Sitka Spruce top provides an enormous frequency range that offers wave after wave of shimmering highs along with tight mids and a full-bodied low end. Sapele back and sides offer a full-bodied and warm mid-range and a bright tone. Fishman® Sonicore pickup accurately translates a full guitar sound to whatever amplification system you plug into. The AEQ210TF preamp provides the extra punch of on-board EQ, and the convenience of an easy-to-read digital tuner. The Walnut bridge transfers string vibration directly to the body, delivering a natural and warm tone. Thin, compact body and superior high fret access contribute to the superb playability of this guitar. It has less feedback as there’s no sound hole on the body top. Fan bracing, which is commonly used for classical guitars, allows this guitar to have a warm and natural nylon string sound. The combination of a narrow 46mm width nut and 400R fretboard radius offers easy fingering. The sound port on the body side allows you to feel and hear the pure acoustic tone of this guitar more clearly and directly. The name and the design of this fingerboard inlay are both nods to the iconic Ibanez "Tree of Life" inlay design, but with a twist.
