Sculpted from a variety of materials in order to provide both comfort and excellent harmonics. Its laminated mahogany back and sides delivers an amazing sonic balance. Teamed with a laminated spruce top you expect detail throughout the whole range, alongside rich warmth and clarity. This all makes the PM-180E ideal for fingerpicking styles. But you certainly aren't limited to that! These versatile materials ensure it can handle a variety of genres and styles, so dive into your favourite!
Complementing the mahogany / spruce body is a walnut fingerboard, which provides a tonal characteristic that falls between mahogany and rosewood. It'll grant you those distinct, earthy sonics that give your notes extra body.
Maple and spruce have been used to sculpt this model - they've been used for the neck and top of the PM-180E. Both materials further enhance the overall sound of this model whilst offering their unique qualities. The maple provides a beautiful sustain, packed with plenty of bite, whilst the addition of the spruce top produces a strong attack. All-round tonal perfection combined to create a masterpiece.
