Artist Series Perfection 

Part of the Artist Series, the ABT60CESHB is tuned from B to B. This means its pitch sits somewhere between an acoustic bass and a traditional dreadnought. The result of this is a deep and thick sound, which remains easy to control. Scales and chord shapes mirror those of a traditional six-string, however they boast a noticeably lower voicing. It’s complimented by an LR Baggs StagePro EQ and Element Pickup System.    

The guitar is a breeze to use too, with a high level of playability that makes it an absolute joy to practice or perform with. A cutaway design ensures you can move quickly, yet precisely along the fretboard.

Stuff About Electric Guitars

Electric guitars use magnetic pickups to convert string vibration into an electrical signal, allowing the sound to be shaped through amplifiers and effects. Key things to understand include body shape, pickup type, neck profile, scale length and bridge design, as these all affect tone, feel and sustain. They are used across almost every modern genre, from clean and expressive to high-gain and aggressive styles, making them one of the most versatile instruments available.
