The Bella Tono Elegante S24S has everything an acoustic guitar player could ask for and then some. It features a Solid Spruce top and jaw-droppingly gorgeous Pau Ferro back & sides pairing. The soundboard is adorned with stunning abalone for both the rosette and purfling which is further accented with a rich Padauk highlight and Ebony binding. The Ebony fingerboard continues with the lush abalone appointments; depicting an inlaid scene of mountains and birds in flight.
The solid spruce top on the Elegante gives it a nice, blooming tone and a broad dynamic range.
Pau Ferro is slightly brighter than other tonewoods, and is a harder wood, but still has the depth and warmth guitarists are looking for.
The beautiful abalone inlay we use for the rosette and purfling transform the Elegante into something truly special.
