This hybrid design enhances resonance, sustain, and dynamic range, offering a rich and punchy low end with excellent clarity.

MGRBCS stands for Matte Garnet (or Cherry) to Black Sunburst.

The matte (satin) surface highlights the natural wood grain and avoids the glare typical of glossy finishes, giving it a luxurious and modern visual appeal.
