Our goal when designing the STA130SMCENT was to build a guitar that each individual guitar would be as unique as each person who played one. Spalted maple is one of the most unique woods and each guitar will look like a one of a kind masterpiece. Mother nature was the artist and the guitars benefit by become a beautiful, individual work of art. But don’t let all the beautiful fool you, this guitar has more than just looks. Like all Teton Guitars we wanted it to sound amazing. The solid sitka spruce top, paired with an auditorium body was the perfect combiation to make this guitar sound as great as it looked.
