The Violet Performance EM a is designed for discerning acoustic players who prioritize stage performance, maximum playing comfort, and the most natural amplified tone. The soundboard of the guitar is made of carefully selected Engelmann spruce, whose excellent acoustic properties are further enhanced by our innovative individual soundboard voicing process. The back and sides are crafted from African mahogany, a tonewood known for its warmth and balance. Together, these materials produce a well-balanced, dynamic sound with clear highs, warm bass, and long-lasting sustain, making the instrument equally suitable for delicate fingerstyle passages as well as more assertive flatpicking or strumming.
To ensure outstanding performance on stage, the guitar is equipped with the LR Baggs Stagepro Element system, delivering a highly natural, studio-quality amplified sound that faithfully captures the instrument’s acoustic character.
In addition to several dark appointments, the natural appearance of the Violet Performance EM a is further highlighted by our Open-Pore Finish, which leaves the pores of the wood exposed and allows the tonewood to resonate more freely. Playing comfort is further elevated by the Bevel Duo ergonomic feature, carefully integrated into both the top and back plate, significantly reducing arm and rib pressure and ensuring exceptional comfort even during prolonged performances. For improved orientation during live performance, the guitar also features linear position markers on the side of the fretboard, allowing for quick and intuitive navigation across the neck under any lighting conditions.
