The vintage-style body on the Deep Forest Ebony FE is small and comfortable. Striped Ebony top is prized as a tonewood for it's deep and strong bass and lower mids, while still providing clear highs and slightly scooped mid ranges similar to rosewood. The Okoume back and sides keep the tones more toward the warmer side. The sonic combination of this slightly undersized body with these woods is really special. The wood blends are naturally full of deep, rich overtones that bring forward its low end. The smaller body and bracing assure that it is also articulate and balanced. Need to switch from acoustic to amplified? No problem - the Deep Forest Ebony FE is equipped with Barcus Berry active electronics, including integrated tuner.
