The traditional arch-top guitar, with its carved top and back, has good attack and note separation. Mine has a round sound-hole, rosewood back and sides, and the back is curved over struts as on a flat-top guitar giving a gentler sound with more sustain. As a 12 string it gives power and punch and excellent separation without a hint of the confused sound that can be a problem with flat-top 12 strings. The cutaway is an optional extra.
