With modern styling, original detailing and superior craftsmanship, Contemporary Series guitars bring authentic acoustic traditions to the 21st century. These all-solid guitars appeal to a broad cross-section of players who want the expertise of pre-war craftsmanship but the style and look of something truly original. This model features a solid AA Sitka spruce top, solid African mahogany or solid East Indian rosewood back and sides, fully scalloped forward-x bracing, a one-piece mahogany neck with a thin “C” profile, half moon tuners and an ebony fretboard and bridge. The Series II model has top, back and side purfling, maple binding on the body, fretboard and headstock, a contemporary snowflake abalone fretboard inlay and an original “cat eye and diamond” rosette. The ROC-56-CFE is a 000 style guitar that comes with a built in Fishman 4-band EQ pickup system!
