SHELL INFO
SHELL
1/16" Mahogany Outer Ply, 1/8" Poplar Core Ply, 1/16" Mahogany Inner Ply with 1/4" Solid Maple Reinforcement Rings.

This unique shell combination is further stabilized by a specially rounded bearing edge with 1" solid maple reinforcement rings.
BEARING EDGE
30 Degree inner cut with a 1/8" radius round over
Producing a pure, well-rounded sonic footprint, Legacy Series revives the distinctive sound that set the standard for popular music throughout the 20th Century.
