Weathered Black gives this PF54CE a moody, lived-in look that suits players who prefer their instruments with a little character. The all-meranti construction -- top, back, sides, and neck -- produces a warm, cohesive tone that's tonally similar to mahogany, with balanced mids and a smooth top end that won't get harsh. The open-pore finish keeps the sound breathing and natural.

The dreadnought cutaway body gives you full projection for rhythm playing plus easy access to the upper frets for leads and fills. The undersaddle pickup and AEQ-2T preamp with onboard tuner handle amplification simply and effectively. Whether you're strumming around a campfire or plugging in at an open mic, the PF54CE in Weathered Black is a reliable companion.
