Gibson Stage Deluxe LTD Acoustic-Electric Guitar

Classic round shouldered design with V-neck profile and TranceAudio Amulet M electronics.
The Stage Deluxe Limited is based on Gibson's most powerful flat top model of the ˜30s with an extra deep, round shoulder body design, solid mahogany back and sides, wide X-bracing and classic "V"neck. Made with an solid Adirondack red spruce top, it has a dovetail neck-to-body joint, hand-fitted and secured with hide glue ensures unequalled resonance transfer from strings to body, and a radiused body for projection and clarity. Its nitrocellulose lacquer finish allows the guitars tone to mature with age. An inspiration to the world's finest acoustic players, the Stage Deluxe has a wider, more developed tone especially in the treble range. This guitar holds the title as the grand piano of acoustic guitars. Making it even more special and taking it into the modern age, it's been equipped with TranceAudio Amulet M dual mono guitar pickup system.

TranceAudio Amulet M Pickup System
The unique Dual Mono design of the internally-located preamp allows you to easily adjust the bass and treble balance of your guitar without using any EQ whatsoever. Power is provided by an onboard 9-volt battery with more than 100 hours of battery life available. A precision designed low-cut filter is included to eliminate unwanted low frequencies without removing any of the low-end power of your guitar, even on instruments that are tuned far below standard pitch. The signal leaving the guitar via the high-quality Switchcraft ¼³ endpin jack is low impedance, making it immune to hum and buzz, and enabling long cable runs with no loss of signal or quality, and no cable handling noise.
