Dreadnought

Bold bottom-ends are what the Dreadnought body shape is renowned for, but the mark of a truly exceptional example is its ability to retain a balanced tone. The FA400D excels in this area – responding just as well to subtle strumming as it does to players that go all-out. And with Genuine Abalone finishes, it’s bound to turn as many heads because of its appearance as for their incredible sound.

Electro Acoustic

Fitted with a Fishman Presys 301 system, the 400 Series Electro-Acoustic models are designed to offer maximum control, performance and quality of sound. Offering the same exceptional standard of tone found elsewhere in the range, time and care has been taken to ensure excellent replication of the acoustic sound when amplified.
