Rathbone R3SMPCEBK Grand-Auditorium

A bright focused combination the R3SMPCEBK combines Solid Spruce on the top with Maple on the back and sides. This pairing delivers a bright immediate tone with superb projection Maple is a very dense hardwood This makes it a good choice for live performance because the clarity of tone cuts through the mix well.

The perfect all-rounder the No.3 has the same scale length as the Orchestra Model but body dimensions closer to a classic dreadnought. The larger body cavity naturally produces greater bass tones but without sacrificing clarity and that's the beauty of the Grand-Auditorium. However a larger body does not mean an unwieldy instrument. Far from it in fact. The beautiful curves around the waist of the Rathbone No.3 ensure the guitar will sit comfortably on a knee or hang perfectly from your shoulders.
