The SLA-70’s overall feels & handling experience Back in late ‘70s where folk size bodies were flooding the country music records which put acoustic folk guitars in the corner spot of its fingerstyle plucking riff, this was the golden era of folk acoustic guitars which is represented in model SLA-70 here.
Typical Folk size has a full-size 39.5” (100.30 cm) length which is suitable for female or petite-adult, it is slightly 3cm shorter than a full standard Dreadnought length size. Even though it has full size 65cm nut to saddle but the upper bout (29 cm), lower bout (38.4 cm), body thickness (9cm upper, 10cm bottom) are offering much overall shape reduction than the more bulky dreadnought body.
The nut width = 1.7” (4.2 cm) with standard industry strings spacing leaving enough spacing for a fingerstyle players for a balance, clear & full round sound of a popular Folk size guitar. The upper body thickness = 9 cm, lower body thickness = 10 cm with cut-away style is indeed a fingerstyle acoustic guitar that rock all music genre.
In short, a finger-style cutaway folk size guitar which makes balance, well defined mid-range for finger-style plucking in full round impact tones. It is a perfect companion for all musicians.
Unique bridge design for enhance tones
All Corona’s bridge is designed to have stiffer string’s angle on saddle by positioning the end-pins at the lower level area on the bridge (the so called it as split levels bridge design). The higher the strings pressure level on the saddle will enhance its tone clarity when the player plucks the strings. The saddle is made of cow bone material to pass more natural acoustic sound while enhancing its clarity.
