Visually and sonically, maple has always offered unique appeal as a tonewood, and we took this opportunity to level up with this special Grand Auditorium. Featuring a torrefied Sitka spruce top—treated with our special roasting process to create a played-in sound and aged look—this 614ce LTD also boasts back and sides of striking quilted maple. We’ve also upped the aesthetic appeal with a gorgeous Desert Sunburst. Tonally, V-Class bracing bolsters this guitar’s lively tone, making it more dynamic and responsive to the player. This model is appointed with ebony binding, a paua/ebony rosette, and mother-of-pearl Wings fretboard/peghead inlays.
