Like its CG171C acoustic brother, the CGX171CC’s solid cedar top and rosewood
back and sides ensure a warm, strongly projecting sound. A cutaway is added for
enhanced high-position access, and the slightly shallower body and lower string
height mean effortless handling and playability.
The combination of B-Band under-saddle pickup and internal
condenser mic guarantees excellent clarity and a natural-sounding, concert-like
powered performance, and the mic is mounted on an adjustable gooseneck for
optimum positioning. The preamp’s responsive high and low tone bands are
supported by a unique mic mix control that enables the signal to be blended
either in or out of phase, so the sound will always be rich and feedback
resistant.
