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.
