NEW GREG BENNETT ACOUSTICS

Samick's Greg Bennett acoustic guitar range "D5 Worthington" solid top and "Series 18" all solid guitars received a number of glowing reviews during 2006 both here and abroad. This year sees the release of exciting new satin finish models on the back of this success.For 'those in the know', thinner hard satin finishes allow the guitar's timber to 'breathe' more freely thus providing a truer, richer expression of tone.There are four new additions to the Series 18 range offering a solid mahagony body dreadnought for clarity and even tonal response and solid rosewood body dreadnought for a rich, darker bottom end. Each body type is also available as a cutaway fitted with a fishman pickup and preamp system. Nuts and saddles have also reveived a serious upgrade with Graph Tech's TUSQ at no extra cost.

The D5 Worthington dreadnought and cutaway electric / acoustic solid top models are also now available with satin finish. Prices start from $349.
