Stellar amplified acoustic tone
A slim-profile pickup, the AP11 is positioned so it does not inhibit the natural vibration of the solid cedar top wood. Blending the magnetic pickup volume and contact pickup volume enhances both the overall tonal depth as well as brightness of the PA230E, translating its truest acoustic tone through whatever PA system you are using.
Neck designed for response
Whether you are a flatpicking fiend or fingerpicking fanatic — or both! — you will love the 5-piece African mahogany and pau ferro neck with Macassar ebony fingerboard. The response and feel of this tonewood combo are truly delightful. Plus, with jumbo frets, strumming or fingerpicking is a breeze. For fans of down tuning, the 25.75-inch scale length means proper tension and pitch are maintained as you tune down! In addition, the soft cutaway of this neck provides wonderful access to those higher notes.
Great acoustic for singer/songwriters
Given its big volume and incredible projection, the jumbo-body acoustic has won over legions of singer/songwriters for decades. The solid cedar top on this beauty is a tonewood that has been making inroads with many acoustic enthusiasts for its unique sonic signature. And the okoume back and sides tie in nicely with the cedar, offering its own tonal colorings for a really pleasing overall sound. Solo performers will love the PA230E as their go-to live instrument for its ability to wonderfully complement their voice. And if you're playing in an ensemble, guitarists at Sweetwater have found the PA230E sits nicely in the mix, asserting itself with a balanced presentation.
