Sound & Construction
Built with a solid Sapele top, back, and sides, the DRS1 delivers a gorgeous, warm, and punchy midrange projection very similar to mahogany. Its dreadnought body size gives it excellent bass response and plenty of volume whether you're strumming or flatpicking.
It features a highly stable multi-laminate neck, a durable Richlite fingerboard, and comes factory-equipped with a discrete Fishman Sonitone pickup system in the soundhole, making it completely gig-ready.
